Dr. Jared Garcia, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dr. Jared!

I bring various approaches for a holistic and patient-centered framework, taking into account each person's experience through their current circumstances.

My focus

I work with grief and loss, adjustment disorders, chronic illnesses, life stressors, anxiety and depression, LGBTQ+ individuals, adoption, couples, and burnout.

My approach

My approach is eclectic, and I believe that our mind, body, spirit, and environment are components of who we are and how we function. By acknowledging all these pieces, we can begin to understand and delve into recognizing, addressing, and implementing positive changes in your life.

My communication style

I am open and present with my clients. You are the expert of your life, and I am here to tap into that. Within our communication, I hope to foster healthy changes and successes with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My approach to goal-setting is cooperative, customized, and goal-oriented. You are a distinct individual with your own experiences, difficulties, and goals.

My goals for you

Some enter therapy without specific objectives, driven by a desire for growth. Others have clear understanding of what is required and need tools to achieve it. We will establish an inviting atmosphere, utilize inquiry to gain clarity, and identify relevant goals.

Our first session

The first session is all about me understanding and getting to know you better. Your paperwork may say what you are coming in for initially, but listening and hearing it from you provides me with so much more depth on where you are.
