Amanda Garcia, LCSW — Therapist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Amanda!

I tend to use trauma-informed CBT and mindfulness although there is no cookie-cutter approach. I will meet you where you are at and use whatever tools I have to help with your specific mental health needs. I can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, and more.

My focus

I work with patients needing care for their mental health, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency.

My approach

I tend to lean into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches to help regulate the nervous system and reframe maladaptive thoughts/beliefs. I maintain a strengths-based perspective.

My communication style

I tend to have a lax yet clinical tone, knowing that you are an expert at your life, but I am here to gently push when needed. I have been described as down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to help people who were suffering since I can remember. I have had no regrets in my career choice. It is rewarding to be a part of others' healing journeys and to witness growth.

My goals for you

We will discuss your therapy goals at our first meeting and will continue to assess as needed. We will define measurable and specific goals and objectives to address your needs.

Our first session

I will have some background questions and am open to any questions you may have. It is normal to feel anxious before the first session, so just show up as you are!
