Getting to know Erica Garcia

Starting therapy can feel a bit overwhelming, and that's perfectly normal. Rest assured, I'm here to guide you through the process every step of the way, and we'll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. In our sessions, I create a free-flowing, low-pressure environment where you can express yourself openly without feeling rushed. My goal is to make sure you feel supported and at ease throughout our work together. What I find most rewarding about being a therapist is watching clients grow, build confidence, and navigate life's challenges with new tools and insights. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from William Paterson University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively. When it comes to setting goals, we'll work together to identify the areas that matter most to you and explore the skills and techniques that can help you achieve real, lasting change. I believe in meeting stress head-on by understanding what kind of stress you're dealing with?whether it's mental or physical?and finding the most effective way to cope. If you're feeling nervous about starting therapy, know that it's completely okay. Take your time, explore what feels right for you, and remember you can move forward at your own pace when you're ready.

Sessions are booked on either a weekly or biweekly basis.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I use a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, Play Therapy, and more, to best support your needs. Together, we'll work on building skills, improving communication, and creating positive change. Your experience will be supportive and focused on helping you overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and improve your overall well-being.
