Shaina Dyas-Garcia

My communication style

My communication style is warm, grounded, and direct, with a balance of compassion and honesty. I listen deeply, offer clear feedback, and create space for reflection without judgment. My goal is for you to feel understood, supported, and safe being your full self.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider grew from working with diverse communities across the lifespan and witnessing the impact of trauma, identity stress, and systemic barriers. I was drawn to therapy as a way to offer affirming, compassionate care and help people feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by breaking overwhelming concerns into manageable steps. Together, we build insight, coping skills, and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depression. I check in often, adjust our work as needed, and move at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your goals, history, and what feels most important right now. We’ll move at your pace, prioritize safety and comfort, and begin creating a plan that feels supportive and collaborative.

I identify as...

• Non-binary
• Black or African American
