“I'll admit that I really didn't want to do therapy to work on my marriage. My husband and I began seeing Heather during a particularly challenging time in our relationship. From the very first session, we felt heard, respected, and supported. She created a safe, nonjudgmental space where both of us could speak openly and work through our issues. What stood out most was her solution-focused dialogue and how authentic she was. Looking forward to our next session.”

“I think Heather does a great job being welcoming and understanding while also pushing me to call out my own fallacies and work towards correcting them. I've made a lot of progress in just the couple months I've been working with her, and I am very grateful that her style connects with me so well.”

Getting to know Heather Garcia
Heather’s professional experience in counseling has allowed her to become skilled and comfortable in her particular style. Her theoretical orientation aligns with Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. However, Heather strongly believes that a counselor should possess technical eclecticism and be well-versed in many theoretical orientations and interventions to accommodate the diverse individual needs of clients. With that goal in mind, Heather continues to stay immersed in other styles such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy, while maintaining a Humanistic approach at the core of her counseling. When working with couples and families, Heather utilizes Family Systems Therapy, Structural Therapy, Strategic Therapy, and Transgenerational Therapy as treatment modalities. She is also Gottman Level I certified and enjoys using the Gottman Approach with couples. Heather earned her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, which further supports her expertise in working with families and couples.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
