Getting to know Rose Garcia

Hi there, I'm Rose! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 19 years of experience in the mental health field. I also have 10 years of experience working in street medicine with forensic and tri-morbid individuals. I'm passionate about supporting women and POC. I am invested in the course of my clients’ overall development in patterns of behavior and exploring what cultural and social constructs are interfering at this time. I like to work with individuals using my training in Narrative Therapy while focusing on cultural complexities. I am also comfortable using therapeutic models that support a strength-based, harm-reduction, trauma-informed, and holistic approach. I focus on relationships and other systems in which clients participate, such as family, culture, school, work, community, and society. I enjoy working with women of color and those working hard to break generational traumas. I believe some women suffer in silence and are self-sacrificing. These women deserve a safe space to express their needs and tell their stories. All women deserve a therapist who will act as their mirror and collaborator in cultivating self-love. I have experience working with severely mentally ill homeless individuals who taught me to show up as my true self. I actively listen to my clients’ needs, follow their lead, and ask multiple questions throughout our sessions. I am able to laugh at myself and be transparent whenever I am at a loss for words. I assure my clients that they have the power to ask for a timeout, pause for tears, or silence. I believe I have a friendly demeanor in session. As a first-generation Brown female, I became hyperaware of others’ behaviors toward me and the world. In 2003, I began my work in mental health as a B.A.-level Case Manager, working with children, families, CalWorks, and court-mandated teen parents. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where I trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
