Yolanda Garcia

My communication style

You can expect to feel safe and speak freely without judgment. I'm open to listening, and you'll feel comfortable telling me anything. Sessions are informal yet informative and beneficial. Be yourself—bring coffee, put your feet up, relax, and enjoy the hour while we dive into what's happening in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I share empathy and compassion because I understand what it feels like to be so sad it's difficult to get out of bed or so overwhelmed it's hard to accomplish one thing. Sometimes all we need is someone to listen, remind us of our capabilities, and support us. I enjoy being that boost and seeing moods shift from hopeless to hopeful.

My goals for you

I am client-centered and ask what you'd like to get out of our meetings. You are the expert in your own life, so I walk alongside you during your journey. I check in about goals to see what works and offer suggestions for more effective outcomes if necessary.

Our first session

My goal is for you to be as comfortable as possible. We won't dive into anything extreme. You can expect to tell me about yourself and why you're reaching out. I like to learn about your hobbies, interests, likes, dislikes, and most importantly, what I can help with and what has helped in the past.
