Christine Marie Garcia, NP

Christine Marie Garcia, NP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NY
**This provider does not treat patients looking for therapy.** When a child is struggling, it is vitally important to uncover the correct cause. The process or journey should empower a child to be a part of it and take mastery over it. Equally important is identifying all those who should be involved in the journey and the roles they play. Christine Garcia considers herself a provider and advocate, but mainly a facilitator. Negotiating all the settings your child is a part of requires alignment for a child to flourish and grow. This can only be achieved through open communication and active participation from everyone in this process. Christine has an eclectic background. Her approach has been influenced by a nursing background in the care of children with special needs, particularly in epilepsy. Developmental psychology and attachment research have left their impressions, along with guidance from many wonderful mentors in the field of psychiatry. She holds two master's degrees-one in psychology from The New School, where she conducted research in attachment theory in the Mahler Laboratory, and another in Pediatric Nursing from City University of New York, Hunter College. Christine further specialized at New York University, earning a Post Master's Certificate in the Care of Children with Special Needs. She completed this education in 2002. Christine has been fortunate to apply her knowledge in various settings with varying levels of complexity. She has also had the pleasure of former patients-children who are now adults-returning to thank her. Her approach to treatment includes mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy, all within context.
