Getting to know Vanessa Garcia

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! I have my license in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy and earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I have practiced in two community mental health centers, an outpatient center, an Intensive Case Management program (Assertive Community Treatment), and two educational school settings. I have worked with clients with developmental disabilities, severe mental illness, or mild to moderate concerns. My approach The therapeutic approaches I utilize include, but are not limited to, Psychodynamic, DBT, CBT, client-centered, and Solution-Focused. My focus I enjoy helping clients process the past with a psychodynamic approach or discuss their current challenges using CBT and DBT. Rest assured, all of my actions are client-centered. I also enjoy working with adults and caregivers, serving individuals aged 16 to 90. My communication style Most clients have described working with me as if they are speaking to a familiar person in their life. My journey to mental healthcare I realized I love listening to other people’s stories of their journey in life. We are all human, and we all have challenges and emotions. People come to therapy because something is not working in their life and they want a change. Or, they feel stuck in the past and display unhealthy patterns of behavior and need to process the past to move on in their life. My goals for you A weekly check-in on the progress of goals is a must. It’s how we keep ourselves accountable for therapeutic growth. My first session with you Just to be present in a relaxed setting where you can openly share what is on your mind.
