Getting to know Cristian Garcia

As a first-generation bilingual Latino therapist, I am deeply passionate about creating space for individuals who want to be heard, understood, and supported. I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of communities across the Chicagoland area, with a particular commitment to serving minority populations. I offer trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy to clients of all ages and backgrounds, including teens, young adults, and members of the LGBTQI+ community. My approach is calm and grounded, which clients often find reassuring — especially during their most difficult moments. It would be an honor to walk alongside anyone who is ready to seek support. Therapy, at its core, is a collaboration. Your needs, goals, and experiences shape every step of our work together. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities — including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — tailoring my approach to what serves you best. Together, we’ll work toward a life that feels more fulfilling, more authentic, and more fully yours.
