My name is Marjorie Garcia, I am a licensed clinical professional counselor, and I enjoy working with individuals and their families seeking help with present day or past issues that seem to be affecting their everyday life. I fully believe as a therapist using compassion and understanding can help clients gain confidence in themselves to achieve their goals. If I am a good fit as your therapist, I would like to walk alongside you on your journey for positive change to help you achieve those goals despite the current challenges you face.
I absolutely enjoy working with children, families, and adults. I have experience in variety of issues such as complex trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, stress, emotional and behavioral problems, parenting, self esteem and many others. This includes CBT, mindfulness-based, EMDR, person-centered therapy, and play therapy.
I look forward to speaking with you to see if I am a right fit for your therapy needs and goals.
