Getting to know Amaris Garcia

Hi there, I'm Amaris! A Real Space for Real Conversations—You Don’t Have to Do This Alone. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with authenticity, compassion, and purpose. I specialize in psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Christian counseling, couples therapy, art therapy, play therapy, and grief support. I also have a deep passion for working with children and helping them express themselves in creative, healing ways. My approach My approach to treatment is grounded in building a trusting, authentic relationship where you feel safe to show up just as you are. We’ll take time to understand your story—what’s been weighing on you, what patterns keep showing up, and what healing might look like for you. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT and mindfulness with a holistic, faith-sensitive lens, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. In our sessions, you can expect a mix of reflection, practical tools, and honest conversation. Sometimes we’ll sit with difficult emotions, and other times we’ll challenge unhelpful thoughts or explore new ways of coping. I’ll offer gentle support when you need it and be direct when it’s time to face something hard. Therapy with me is not about fixing you—it’s about walking with you as you find strength, clarity, and peace within yourself. My focus With a strong background in crisis intervention and experience working with high-acuity clients, I bring a calm, steady presence into each session. I support clients through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is grounded in evidence-based techniques, while also leaving space for My communication style As a therapist, my communication style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and heard without judgment.
