Cultural Identities

About Jessica Garcia, MSW, LCSW

Jessica Garcia (she/her/ella) is a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. Born in Querétaro, Mexico and raised in North Carolina, Jessica brings a deep understanding of cultural identity, migration, and generational experiences into her work.

She is the founder of Healing Waves Therapy & Counseling, PLLC, a group practice that provides culturally aware and trauma informed therapy for adults navigating life transitions, generational trauma, and complex family dynamics. Jessica’s approach is rooted in somatic and body centered practices that support clients in learning to move through emotions rather than suppress them. She believes healing happens when experiences are witnessed with care, allowing the body to release survival patterns and build greater safety, connection, and self trust.

Jessica specializes in supporting first generation individuals, eldest daughters, and high achieving professionals who often carry significant responsibility within their families. Many of her clients are cycle breakers working to understand the impact of family patterns, attachment wounds, and emotionally immature caregiving relationships, particularly within mother daughter dynamics.

In addition to her clinical work, Jessica is passionate about community healing. She facilitates women’s retreats for BIPOC women and uses social media to foster conversations about mental health, cultural identity, and collective healing beyond the therapy room.

Outside of her work, Jessica enjoys reading, yoga, boxing, caring for her plants, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
