Getting to know Andrea Garcia
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have dedicated my career to helping clients heal from trauma, navigate burnout, and reconnect with their sense of self. My work is grounded in the belief that every person carries resilience and strength, even in seasons of pain. I specialize in supporting adults and teens through challenges such as anxiety, grief, identity struggles, and relationship stress, integrating evidence-based practices with compassion and authenticity.
My clinical approach weaves together EMDR, DBT, inner child work, and polyvagal-informed strategies to help regulate the nervous system, process difficult experiences, and create lasting change. I also offer faith-based counseling for those who wish to incorporate spirituality into their healing journey. In every session, I strive to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel deeply heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
What drives my practice is a commitment to both clinical excellence and human connection. I believe that therapy is not only about addressing symptoms but also about building courage, self-compassion, and clarity for the future. My goal is to walk alongside you with care and honesty, helping you restore balance and uncover the wholeness already within you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When we begin working together, you can expect a space rooted in compassion, honesty, and growth. I believe therapy is not about fixing who you are but about gently uncovering the parts of you that already hold resilience, wisdom, and strength. In our first sessions, I will take time to listen closely to your story, your goals, and the patterns that have shaped your life so far. Together we will set intentions that honor your pace and your values.
My style is relational and collaborative. I draw from approaches like EMDR, DBT, inner child work, and polyvagal-informed practices to support nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and identity repair. At times, we may explore grief, burnout, or relationship stress with curiosity and courage. Other times, we may use skills and tools that bring structure and relief to overwhelming emotions. If desired, I can also integrate faith-based perspectives to help anchor your healing in what feels most meaningful to you.
I hold deep respect for the trust it takes to enter therapy. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and clarity, helping you move through what feels heavy and reconnect with the parts of yourself that are capable, strong, and whole. Therapy with me is a partnership we will work together to create lasting change, not only in how you cope with challenges but also in how you see and experience yourself.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, I take time to learn about your story, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We will discuss your history, current challenges, and goals so that we can begin shaping a plan that feels realistic and supportive. I explain confidentiality and answer any questions so you feel comfortable and informed about the process.
Ongoing sessions are collaborative and paced to your needs. Some sessions may focus on exploring past experiences and how they influence the present, while others may be more skills-based, where I introduce strategies to help regulate emotions, manage stress, or strengthen relationships. I integrate approaches such as EMDR for trauma processing, DBT for building coping skills, polyvagal-informed techniques for nervous system regulation, and inner child work for deep emotional healing. If you wish, we can also include faith-based perspectives as part of your care.
Throughout therapy, I regularly check in on your goals and progress, adjusting our approach as needed to ensure you feel supported and empowered. My aim is to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and equipped with tools that foster healing, clarity, and growth both inside and outside of sessions.
