Getting to know Terry Garcia

Welcome to my profile, and congratulations on taking a massive step toward wellness. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. During that time, I have worked with a wide variety of clientele, including chronically mentally ill, adolescent, geriatric, and forensic populations. Since earning my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, I have been in private practice since 2006, focusing on providing individual therapy for adults who feel they are struggling to overcome life stressors on their own. I believe that each individual has unique and essential strengths. Carl Rogers’ principles richly inform my practice of genuineness and acceptance. I also rely heavily on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients examine and challenge their thought processes. I look forward to meeting you and achieving your goals together.
