Getting to know Jean Allyson Garcia
Hello, I am Allyson!
Do you feel the heaviness of the world and want to quit? Do you beat yourself up when you do not accomplish your goals? Do you lack meaningful relationships? Do you struggle to find happiness? Are you confused about your purpose in life?
I empower individuals to live their best life and teach people to cope with high-functioning depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. We can work collaboratively to identify destructive behaviors and patterns that are blocking you from living the life you truly desire. I use a Person-Centered approach to provide a safe space for a client to be their authentic self while I listen with a nonjudgmental attitude to any topic introduced in the therapy room.
Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, burnout, work-related stress, betrayal, or racial injustices, we can find various therapy techniques tailored to your personal needs. I am a trauma-informed, EMDR-trained, and culturally sensitive therapist who cultivates an environment of compassion. I want clients to feel safe, heard, and validated. No one deserves to feel hopeless, alone, or abused. Healing is not meant to be done alone. I am a firm believer that with just a little bit of hope and persistence, growth is possible! I am here to support your healing journey.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Pacifica Graduate Institute and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
As of April 2023, I am at capacity for EMDR clients.
