Andrea Garcia, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Andrea!

Welcome. I’m here to support you through challenging times. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where you can process difficult emotions and begin to understand a deeper level of yourself. You don’t have to go through this alone; we can work together towards finding peace.

My focus

My focus is on people who feel stuck and want to make a change. Whether it's because of trauma, imposter syndrome, grief, relationship problems, or the stress of everyday life. Let's navigate together to reach your goals.

My approach

I create a welcoming environment through a genuine connection. My goal is to make you feel safe and seen. I view each person through their culture, values, and life experiences.

My communication style

I take a gentle, direct approach in my sessions while also respecting a person's readiness. I believe in the importance of having clear communication and respecting your process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been interested in people's thought processes and how they view the world. I have supported and witnessed people's pain, healing, and growth. My goal has always been to help people through difficult times and to support them in achieving their goals.

My goals for you

As a therapist, I help identify what is holding you back and explore the origin of the challenge. We will look at your childhood, your upbringing, and discuss what beliefs have been helpful and or harmful to the life you want to live.

Our first session

We will talk about expectations and how we will navigate our sessions together. I will ask about your goals and explain how I show up as a therapist to see if this will be a good fit for you.
