About Nico Garcia, LAC/MHC-LP

Hi, I’m Nico Garcia, LAC/MHC-LP, a bilingual therapist providing affirming, culturally responsive virtual therapy for Latinx and LGBTQIA+ adolescents and adults. As a gay Colombian immigrant, I understand the complexities of immigration, bicultural identities, family expectations, and intergenerational experiences. I specialize in anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship concerns, and life transitions using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches.
