About Denise Garcia Psy.D., LMFT

Hello and Welcome! I’m Dr. Denise Garcia. Firstly, I’d like to say thank you for taking the first steps in your healing journey with me. I know life is incredibly complex, and taking this first step is a big deal. Do you feel overwhelmed with your young child? Do you feel like the information on parenting needs to be more consistent and more accessible to follow? You may be overwhelmed by wondering if you are doing the best for a child you are helping raise (grandparent or caregiver). Is the child having frequent meltdowns, tantrums, cries easily, or appears discontent most of the time? I help parents and caregivers feel empowered and knowledgeable about their parenting journey. Feel confident in the way you are raising the child. My deep understanding of child development, child psychology, societal constructs, trauma, and sensory-process integration informs my unique approach to therapy for all ages and stages in life. I will help you explore themes of your childhood that may be hindering growth. I use evidence-based strategies and coping tools to improve your mental wellness as we navigate through this process together. We often have scars from our childhood that inform the way we understand child-rearing and that we want to break free from. I can assist you in letting go of the way you were parented so that you can have a more regulated, well-adjusted, balanced parenting style—in other words, breaking free of generational trauma or relationship trauma. I use EMDR to reprocess traumas and provide psychoeducation on child-rearing that is gentle and evidence-based. Your takeaway from sessions: We will discuss your concerns and what you would like to get out of therapy. Each session will include a check-in on your feelings, thoughts, and events that may have brought stress. I will provide you with tools to assist you in your day-to-day life and help you identify where challenges are coming from. Once we have gotten to know each other, I can employ EMDR to help you heal and reprocess trauma.
