Getting to know Leonardo Garcia
I am currently providing psychotherapy services in both English and Spanish in person and via Telehealth in California. As a strength-based clinician, I have had the opportunity and privilege to assist people in bringing stability and healing to their lives by helping them find and recognize their inner strengths and apply them in their daily lives.
I employ an in-depth therapeutic approach to provide short-term and effective symptom reduction. I also focus on Affirmative Therapy, advocating for the needs of sexual and gender minority patients. Additionally, for longer-term treatment, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment focused on building rapport and establishing a sense of safety and trust. I begin by explaining the dynamics of the therapeutic process, including confidentiality, session structure, and what client-centered therapy looks like in practice. This initial meeting is collaborative and conversational, allowing space for clients to share what brings them to therapy while also asking any questions they may have. In addition to relationship-building, I complete a structured psychosocial assessment to gain a comprehensive understanding of the client’s background, strengths, presenting symptoms, and areas they would like to improve. This includes exploring emotional, social, family, occupational, and personal factors that may be influencing their current challenges. Together, we use this information to identify priorities and develop individualized therapeutic goals that reflect the client’s needs, values, and readiness for growth.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance between deep empathy and thoughtful structure.

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.
