Getting to know Christina Garcia
*IMPORTANT NOTICE*: At Healing Connections Counseling Center, goodness of fit is of the upmost importance. Therefore, when booking through ZocDoc, please be aware that your first booking will be a 15 minute phone consultation with our Clinical Care Director, Emily Conte, LPC, who will do a 10-15 minute brief intake phone call to gather your general demographic and insurance information, availability, and reason(s) for seeking treatment. Emily will then verify your insurance and provide you with your coverage information so you know what your financial responsibility will be per session. She will also assure that the clinician you requested is the best fit for your stated needs. We value your time and understand what a vulnerable process therapy can to begin. It is with your care in mind that we follow what has been a very successful intake and therapist assignment process.
About Christina Garcia, LSW:
Christina Garcia, LSW a “Licensed Social Worker" with license # 44SL06915800 and is currently working under the supervision of licensed practitioner, Denise Ardito, LCSW, PsyA. Her current employer is Healing Connections Counseling Center.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Ramapo College of New Jersey, along with a CCTP certification and a school social work certification. I have always been drawn to social work, inspired by my own personal experiences and growing up in a household devoted to helping others. My approach is eclectic, flexible, and grounded in building strong therapeutic relationships while providing evidence-informed care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer a warm and supportive space where you can come just as you are. Every person is different, and I believe therapy should be tailored to fit your unique needs. Together, we’ll talk through what’s been weighing on you, whether that’s anxiety, self-confidence, relationships, or life transitions. My style is compassionate and collaborative. I use approaches like IFS and psychodynamic therapy to explore things more deeply, while also bringing in practical tools from CBT and DBT that can help you feel more grounded day to day. Most of all, my hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can finally breathe and be a safe space to feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and begin moving forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In therapy, we’ll create a space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been running on autopilot. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or the pressure to keep it all together, we’ll work together to help you feel more balanced and at peace within yourself.

More information on payments and coverage
Healing Connections Counseling Center is in-network with BCBS and Aetna insurance plans, with the exception of any Medicare, Medicaid, EAP, Marketplace, or Carelon related plans. If you have another insurance carrier and your plan has out-of-network coverage, the office will provide you with a super bill to submit directly to your insurance plan. Since we would be considered an out of network provider with any other insurance carriers besides BCBS and Aetna, the client would be responsible for the full fee of the session, which is $150 for a 60-minute session or $125 for a 45-minute session with Christina Garcia. The client would submit a super bill to their insurance and receive reimbursement (if applicable to their plan) directly from their insurance company. If you need assistance with submitting out of network super bills, we can have a member of our billing department walk you through the process.
