Getting to know Christina Garcia

Hi there, I'm Christina! I'm Christina Garcia, LMFT, and I take a Client-Centered/Humanistic approach. I like to say, "We are all a little crazy in our own ways and need others to connect with." Understanding what makes you "crazy" can be valuable in learning how to connect with your outer world. My approach I use an eclectic model of therapy, with my main focuses being Client-Centered/Humanistic, CBT, and mindfulness. My focus I have experience working with individuals with severe mental illnesses as well as those who simply need someone to talk to. I have treated individuals with schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use, in addition to those facing adjustment difficulties. My communication style I bring genuineness to sessions, including humor and sarcasm, while also providing unconditional positive regard and empathy. I like to say, "I am a figment of your imagination, and you get to decide what to do." My journey to therapy In the winter of 2003, after watching the movie *Gothika*, I realized that many people don’t listen to those with mental health issues. I vowed to be that "voice for the voiceless." After graduating from my undergraduate studies, I became that voice within my own family. Having my brother and cousin both experience psychotic episodes during the summer of 2014 was incredibly difficult. I learned to advocate for them and seek resources to support their struggles. I entered my Master’s degree program not only with my original purpose but with a mission close to my heart. Witnessing the injustices my family members faced fueled my passion for this work, and I put a lot of heart into what I do. My goals for you I allow clients to choose what they want to work on and give them the freedom to change those goals as they see fit.
