Janeth Garcia, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Janeth!

My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can grow and work through what's holding you back. While we can't change the past, we can learn from the patterns that keep us stuck and find ways to move forward with more clarity and confidence. Let's work together to help you reach your fullest potential.

My focus

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, cultural stressors, domestic violence, and self-esteem issues. Together, we'll focus on developing coping skills, processing trauma, and shifting negative thinking patterns to build your confidence and help you feel more in control and at peace.

My approach

I take a client-centered approach, meaning our work is all about your unique needs, goals, and experiences. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to tailor sessions to what feels most helpful for you.

My communication style

I create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I practice active listening and empathy, ensuring you feel supported in expressing your thoughts and feelings openly. I provide clear, constructive feedback to help you process your experiences and reflect on patterns in your behavior.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have personally witnessed the challenges that mental health struggles can bring when loved ones face their own difficulties. This experience deepened my understanding of therapy's impact on individuals and families, and combined with my passion for helping others, led me to become a provider.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore and establish goals that are meaningful to you. These goals may evolve as we go along, and that's okay. Throughout our work together, I'll help you stay focused on those goals, adjusting them as needed, so that you can make real, lasting progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about your past experiences and what you hope to work on. My goal is to make you feel heard and supported, and to create a safe environment where you can begin your journey at your own pace.
