Danica Garcia, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Danica! I'm Danica Garcia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth services from Northern California. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. While I have experience in a variety of specialties, my current focus is helping clients heal from trauma in a warm and grounding context. I love facilitating lasting change in the brain so you can live more fully! My approach I use a combination of evidence-based practices including psychoeducation to build understanding, somatic (or body-based) skills to manage trauma responses, and Brainspotting, which promotes deep healing in the brain from the effects of trauma and many other forms of distress. My focus I see adults of all ages in individual therapy, focusing on how the past affects current functioning to bring wholeness and healing. Brainspotting is very effective for virtually any condition or diagnosis. My communication style My style of therapy is genuine, calming, and in tune with my clients. They often say I create a safe space where they feel relaxed, connected, and deeply seen. My journey to therapy I chose this career because I need work that connects me deeply with people and brings healing to others. I continue this work because the privilege of being with someone in their most vulnerable moments and guiding them toward health brings me incredible fulfillment! My goals for you I typically like to set goals with clients in the second or third session after we've built some rapport and clarified what you want to focus on in therapy. Creating simple goals is collaborative and helps keep therapy on track while measuring progress every few months. My first session with you In our first session, you'll get a feel for me as a person and therapist, my style, and begin to build trust. We'll work on containing any initial anxiety and go over the basics of how therapy works, including confidentiality.
