Getting to know Marisa Garcia

My name is Marisa Garcia, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. My focus is to meet you where you are and walk with you through the stage of life you are currently in. I am a major believer in a strength-based setting that feels safe and welcoming to all. My approach I would describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic. I pull from varying sources to meet the unique needs of each patient. I typically start by focusing on the DBT model and adjust my style as needed for every individual. My focus My main goal is to assist patients in achieving the goals they have set for themselves. I am comfortable working with individuals struggling with depressive symptoms, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use, and trauma. My communication style I use a calm and welcoming tone to create a safe, non-judgmental space. Working with me feels comfortable and supportive. My empathetic personality allows me to listen deeply and truly understand how you are experiencing the world around you. My goals for you I provide my recommendations, but I also draw from the input and feedback directly from you. Together, we create goals that are meaningful and important to you.
