Getting to know Lauren Garcia

Hi there, I'm Lauren! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. At some point in our lives, we all need support, guidance, and a space to talk about our challenges and stressors. Therapy is a way to explore underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and gain insight and self-awareness to help you grow and be the best version of your authentic self. My approach My approach to therapy is individualized and varies based on each client's needs. I treat every session as an opportunity for progress. I use various approaches, such as psychodynamic therapy, allowing us to collaborate and meet your needs as best as possible. My focus I specialize in working with those experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, and trauma attachment issues. I'm trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Managing Adaptive Practice. My communication style I listen to my clients and have open, honest discussions. I want clients to feel comfortable speaking openly about their lives and know I am listening without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up, I was drawn to helping people through difficult times. Whether as a trusted friend, afterschool coach, or community volunteer, seeing someone become their best self is meaningful and impactful. My goals for you Before goal setting, I believe trust must be built between us. By developing this therapeutic relationship, we can work together to explore and define what you want to achieve. My first session with you I view therapy as a partnership. Our first session will consist of me getting to know what is going on in your life that has led you here.
