Couples Counseling Therapists in Lake Hughes, CA

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from different psychotherapy orientations. This allows me to tailor therapy to your needs and allows for a truly collaborative process in deciding where we go and how. Since successful therapy depends on a strong relationship between client and therapist, my first priority is nurturing that bond by creating a safe and supportive environment. I believe therapy is most effective when it is flexible, demystified, and client-centered, so you can expect me to be transparent about my ideas and approaches. My style is at times infused with humor and is always warm and direct.

When working with clients, I strive to make the therapy experience respectful and genuine. Everyone's journey to personal resilience is unique and there is no one size fits all solution. My approach is flexible and client centered. I often explore childhood attachment issues which can assist the client in achieving sustained emotional growth.

Hi there, my name is Edgar Garcia. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California.

Sometimes it helps to talk about life's struggles and pain with someone who listens and understands. Sometimes we have become distant from the people most important to us and need help repairing relationships. Sometimes the people we needed to care for us have hurt us and we need help healing. Sometimes we have done things we regret and need help moving forward. Everyone desires to be known and accepted, but sometimes things happen to cause us to withdraw and give up on connecting with others. I would like to help you find healing, hope, and connection in your life.

I truly admire those willing to embark on the courageous journey towards transformation, and I am honored to stand beside them in their quest for happier, more productive and successful lives. I understand individuals can experience pain associated with tremendous fear and shame that often prevents them from living healthy and authentic lives. I facilitate a nurturing environment for individuals, couples and adolescents seeking to explore and understand themselves more fully through reflection and attunement.

The main predictor that determines if therapy will be successful is the client’s connection with their therapist. That is why it is crucial to find a therapist who is empathetic to your journey and approaches you without judgment. It is my goal to empower my clients to take the lead in their therapeutic journey. I work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in life.

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt or low self-esteem? Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements or so preoccupied with excessive worrying? Finding ways to navigate these difficult feelings can help you get back on track. I use a psychodynamic approach and CBT that focuses on uncovering patterns of behavior and ways of relating to ourselves and others that are often outside of our awareness. I also consider how our past impacts who we are today. Through acceptance and empathy, we will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and work together toward your personal growth and self-discovery.

I offer my clients a safe, creative space to explore the challenges they're confronting honestly and without judgement.

With warm, focused attention, we'll examine the past and envision the future while firmly rooted in the here and now.
