Rocio Garcia, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rocio!

I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, and overcoming life transitions.

My focus

I work best with emerging adults processing life transitions and trauma who are motivated to explore their identity, embrace their history, accept their present, and move toward change in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

My approach

I tailor my approach to each client's needs, most often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you make progress toward your goals.

My communication style

My style is accommodating and personable. I want you to feel heard and understood without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I wanted to help people recognize their strengths and their ability to overcome difficult times.

My goals for you

Goal-setting is collaborative. You're the expert in your own life, and your input is essential to establishing realistic goals. As we work together, we'll focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Our first session

The first session focuses on getting to know you, understanding what brought you to therapy, and exploring what you want to work on. It's mostly about gathering information to guide our work together.
