Hello, my name is Laura Garcia, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a first-generation Latina, I understand the complex layers of navigating multiple identities, family expectations, cultural values and mental health. I bring this lived experience into the room with deep empathy and cultural sensitivity.
I specialize in supporting teens and young adults process and navigate difficult emotions, heal from trauma and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I know how overwhelming it can be to feel like you’re carrying so much, especially when you’re expected to be strong or keep it together. I am passionate about providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients as that is important in building a true collaborative relationship in the space. My approach blends a variety of therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic, and Person-centered Therapy. I am also passionate about viewing clients holistically – looking not just at what’s happening emotionally, but also how outside factors may be impacting you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just trying to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating – it can be a space where you feel grounded, gain clarity, and begin to thrive.
