Hello - I’m Lissa and I am currently an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. Drawing from emotion-focused, gestalt, and nature-centered therapy, I guide you in your journey towards experiencing the true intimacy, love, and relationships you want and desire with yourself and others.
Areas of focus include indigenous spirituality, sex & intimacy, couples, inner child, grief/life transitions, intergenerational trauma, and oppression-based stress. I blend CIIS-certified sex therapy with ecotherapy to support your full, sacred self.
I offer sessions online, in-office, and outdoors in San Diego (parks, beach, etc.). Therapy is available in English, Spanish, Spanglish. My approach centers ancestral teachings, nature-based healing, and your birthright to feel connected, loved, and whole. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
Call or Lissa Garcia now for a free 15 minute consultation - (760) 891-5948
