Getting to know Caridad Garcia

Hi there! My name is Cari Garcia, and I've been an LCSW since 2012. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I'm ready to dig in with anyone willing to put in the work. I'm committed to holding a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone, whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, need anger management, or are just feeling stuck in your life. I believe there are different levels of transformation and healing because my hope is that we are evolving and growing daily. Along with traditional modalities such as CBT, Narrative, and Family Systems therapy, I like to incorporate mindfulness practices and always consider your cultural background and environment. My approach is always strength-based and client-centered. No one therapeutic modality fits all. I believe laughter, a foundation of trust, and true connection are key to a strong therapeutic relationship. That said, I often draw from Narrative and Solution-focused therapy practices, as well as CBT, Attachment Theory, and Family Systems approaches. I'm currently training in EMDR to better serve clients working through trauma. I've worked in inpatient mental health for most of my career as a therapist and supervisor. I'm an advocate for community and social justice issues focused on BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I also have a special place in my heart for young adults, single parents, domestic abuse survivors, survivors of sexual violence, and those affected by narcissistic abuse. I'm most comfortable working with folks dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, work stress, imposter syndrome, relationship issues, and family dynamics. Being an active listener is my superpower. But that doesn't mean I won't challenge negative beliefs and long-held narratives. I like to keep it real while helping you explore deeper to process through your stuff. I will always hold a calm, non-judgmental, and safe space for anyone I work with.
