I’m Emmanuel Garcia, a Mexican American therapist, first-generation college graduate, and founder of Radiate Hope Therapy. As someone who grew up navigating cultural stigma, silence around mental health, and the weight of expectations, I know how hard it can be to ask for help, especially as a Latino man. In many of our communities, we’re taught to be strong by staying quiet. But I believe real strength lies in breaking the silence and shifting the approach.
I work with first-generation individuals who are navigating trauma, substance use, identity struggles, and life transitions. If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself or others, stuck in survival mode, or trying to figure out who you are outside of the roles you’ve been handed, I see you. Therapy during these moments can feel overwhelming, but it’s also where courage and change begin.
My own journey toward becoming a therapist started with the realization that no one around me growing up talked about emotions or mental health. It wasn’t until I had the opportunity to study abroad in college and experienced genuine compassion from others that I began to understand the power of human connection and emotional support. This journey helped me lean into therapy and sobriety, a deeply personal commitment that gave me belonging, clarity, and meaning. Now, it’s my honor to advocate for mental health, speak to the impact of substance use, break generational patterns, and hold space for others doing the same.
At Radiate Hope Therapy, I approach each session with cultural humility, deep respect, and a belief that your story matters. Whether you’re navigating sobriety, unpacking old wounds, or trying to figure out who you are outside of what’s expected of you, Radiate Hope creates a space that centers your story and your strength.
