Getting to know Jose Garcia-Mercado

Hi, I’m Jose Garcia, a licensed therapist (LICSW, CCM) in Springfield, MA. I specialize in individual therapy to help adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in solution-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with an emphasis on emotional regulation, coping strategies, and personal growth. I’m bilingual and culturally sensitive, offering therapy with a deep understanding of the Latinx experience. I believe therapy is a powerful tool for healing, empowerment, and resilience. Together, we’ll build a collaborative, client-centered plan that works for you. Using a mix of CBT, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients develop action plans, strengthen relationships, and manage life's obstacles. With a BA in Social Work from Universidad Ana G. Mendez (2001) and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Puerto Rico (2012), I bring a wealth of experience from community social work, outpatient mental health, and behavioral health case management. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive space where you feel heard, safe, and respected. I offer virtual sessions and am currently accepting new clients. Contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Let’s take the first step towards emotional balance and healthier living.
