Getting to know April Garcia

Hello, my name is April Garcia, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master's in Counseling from California State University, Fresno. My approach is to support you with personal empowerment so you're in control of your life, using cognitive affective behavioral therapy alongside the community resiliency model. I focus on helping you manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach I use a cognitive affective behavioral approach that supports you in making changes in your life by first changing your thinking, beliefs, and expectations. My focus I typically work with clients who have a consistent and active desire to work diligently and who are willing to attend therapy regularly and on time. If you're struggling with worry, past trauma, confusion, or feeling stuck in life, let's work together. My communication style The tone and environment I create in sessions include psychoeducation tailored to your needs, support with coping skills you can use immediately, and hope that change can occur with my consistent weekly support. My journey to mental healthcare My passion and drive as a therapist come from the little April in the '80s watching cartoons and shows like Care Bears, Mister Rogers, and Punky Brewster-shows that depicted empathy and care for anyone willing to receive support. Inspired by those Saturday morning cartoons and the characters I loved, I combined them all and chose to be my own superhero-a therapist. I vow to bring my kind and animated personality to therapy; after all, no one said therapy has to be boring. My drive for this work is to see you grow into your own superhero in life, empowered to have what you want.
