Hi and welcome! If you like someone who is straightforward with a bit of dark humor, we’ll probably be a good fit. I love discussing things that range from the mundane to deep spiritual and philosophical concepts, whether it’s helping people through depressive slumps, anxieties, or all the changes associated with big life transitions. I feel that all problems are the problem and not the person themselves—regardless of neuro-alignment, gender, sexuality, race or age.
As a narrative focused therapist, I feel that hearing your story is a privilege. I love to collaborate with the client to more deeply understand what matters to you. Through this process, we are able to find the problem beneath the problem and focus on ways to create solutions that support your unique values and goals.
I am available for in-person sessions at Urban Office Suites in the Med Center. Please check out my website or contact me for any questions you may have about availability, pricing, or insurance. If text is preferred to set up a consultation, please contact the phone number on my website as the one listed here is protected for privacy.
Call or Lauren DeReese Garcia now for a free 15 minute consultation - (210) 934-7765

Neuro-spicy and LGBTQIA plus folks are some of my favorite people to work with! Usually we discuss blocks they are experiencing in moving ahead in life that lead to anxiety and depression. Most of the time we see each other weekly for the first month or two and then move to bi-weekly or monthly for maintenance if their symptoms have diminished.
