Getting to know Sonia Garcia

Hi there, I'm Sonia! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and board-certified Professional Christian Counselor. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I enjoy working with men and women of all ages and stages of life on a treatment spectrum that includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder, addiction, and stressors associated with life span changes. I have a passion for integrating faith-based principles (at the client's request) into the journey of healing and growing into the best version of themselves. My approach I like to meet clients where they are in their healing journey, using a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic Therapy (Person-Centered), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Faith-Based Therapy. My focus I have experience working with many backgrounds and challenges, but I am most comfortable supporting individuals (teens, young adults, adults) with depression or anxiety, trauma survivors, addiction issues, couples, grief and loss, and adjustment disorders. My communication style I pray that my clients can come in and surrender the burdens weighing on their hearts or lay down the stressors making life difficult, and walk away with peace, insight, hope, and feeling empowered and motivated to be active participants in their healing journey. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up, I had a front-row seat to loved ones struggling with untreated mental health issues and the destruction of addiction. There was a generational pattern I had no desire to continue. This stirred a deep sense of empathy and a passion for supporting people through life's challenges-helping them heal, grow, transform, and develop healthier coping strategies.
