Hello I'm Amy Garcia, M.S.,LPC. I would first like to just take a moment to commend you on starting to take steps towards seeing a healthier and happier you. If you are finally looking to do something you have never done, to get something you have never had or maybe once had and want to get back to, you have come to the right place. My goal is to become my client’s partner and toolbox. Where you get the autonomy to decide the focus mixed with the resources of empathetic reflection and Holistic evidence-based practices I provide; so together we can get you to where you want to be emotionally and mentally.

Looking for therapy with a more esoteric slant? I'm your therapist! Issues within your family or with your relationships? Let's figure out together what is happening. Polyamorous, kink, and queer are my specialty! I look forward to taking your journey with you!

Life often comes with many obstacles and challenges that affect people in all aspects of life. As a counselor, I recognize the impact of these challenges on lives and how each challenge differs from one another. I aspire to establish a safe and supportive environment where we can explore the different outcomes you would like to see throughout our therapeutic relationship. I intend to provide affirming mental health care for individuals from many communities such as those from marginalized communities.

Deciding to go to therapy is a big step that may cause you to feel nervous, vulnerable, and maybe even a bit overwhelmed. At this point you have probably tried many things to fix the problem, and you are unsure of what to try or where to go next. You are in the right place. Searching for a therapist can be difficult and it is important to find the right fit for you. I work with a variety of people with a variety of concerns utilizing systemic and relational therapies. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment of mutual respect and open communication.

We listen, act, and transform I have been working alongside people on their path to healing for almost ten years, and I have found that by meeting people exactly where they are at and for who they truly are, the healing can be both rewarding and groundbreaking. You bring the need, and I'll supply the tools that can empower you to find what it is that you are looking for in your life. Unconditional acceptance was shown to me, which allowed me to find my own voice and strength in a world that just is.

You need not walk alone through trauma, grief, loss, anger, stuckness, numbness, overwhelm. You're getting through the day, exhausted from saying "It's fine," needing new perspectives and tools. We will work together to foster a new way forward, carried by meaning-making, gentle curiosity, inviting change, and recalibration toward wholeness. I approach therapy as an intentional, collaborative relationship rooted in the belief that people are inherently adaptive and fundamentally whole. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, both reflective and practical. We uncover, discover, discard, reimagine, restore, re-story.

Whether you are feeling from a major traumatic event or just want to create a bit more balance in your life, I'd be honored to be on your team. I tend to take a client centered and eclectic approach in order to accommodate each person's unique needs. I do have a strong background in trauma and personality disorder traits so I can approach every situation through a trauma informed lens and am trained in dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotion focused therapy. I am confident that every person is capable of change and deserves to build a life worth living and I would love to work with you!

"All of us are put in boxes by our family, our religion, our society, our moment in history, even our own bodies. Some people have the courage to break free." --Geena Rocero. Hi! My name is Finn Mahan, Whispering Hippo is my new practice, and I look forward to working together. Do you want to explore your gender, orientation, and (possible?) LGBTQ + sexuality and how it intersects with your human, lived experience? Do you feel crushed with worry? Do you have therapy goals you want to maintain from an out of state therapist? Do you want someone who understands the unique positions the LGBTQ + community in our current social landscape?

Hello! Thank you for making it to my page. Therapy is such a scary experience at first, but you have made it to contacting someone which is the hardest part. I have vast experience in working with individuals who suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, bipolar and personality disorders. I have a passion to work with the LGBTQIA + community, adolescents(12 a& up) and women to find their voices within a sometimes silencing society. Life can be difficult at times and you can still succeed in it. Let me help you reach your life's potential

Hey There! I believe that every thought, emotion, and behavior that a person entertains is actively shaping their current reality. I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership. You & I will define your intentions for therapy and create active goals to shift patterns. I have always had a strong calling to support others. I believe that people can learn to accept, love, and claim authenticity by moving away from patterns that are no longer serving the individual, by actively exploring their unique interests & evolving needs. I respect and acknowledge all relationship styles & sexual identities. My goal is to hold space.

I enjoy serving our community as an Eating Disorder and Trauma therapist. I have experience and enjoy helping patients overcome body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria, supporting individuals through significant life transitions, self-esteem issues, attachment wounds, anxiety, emotional regulation, grief, and depression. I work with teens, adults, and LGBTQIA + couples. I enjoy working with patients who are ready to invest in themselves and ready to make healthy changes. I believe in practicing empathy, warmth, safety, and trust to facilitate an environment where patients can use their strengths to become themselves securely.

Life has a way of presenting what can feel like insurmountable challenges that distract us from our true nature. As women, life has trained us to abandon our wildly powerful nature to fit within the confines of supportive roles to others. When we hit rock bottom it creates a crack for our greatness to flood through, though often the pain of breaking distracts us in an unbearable way. Together we'll mend those cracks with gold. Sometimes we just need a lighthouse to show us the way back to our greatness, or to uncover it for the first time. Thanks for taking the time to see if I'm a good fit as you embark on your healing journey.

In this world full of stressors, we can easily end up feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Finding someone who can help you work through these struggles can make a significant difference in living a more fulfilling life. I strive to help you do that in a safe, supportive environment in which you feel valued and accepted for who you are.
