Freddie Garcia, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Freddie!

My goal is to support people to create positive change in their lives that will produce the healthy relationships, sense of self, and peace of mind they desire. I see patients 18 and beyond.

My focus

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I have experience working with a wide variety of groups. Through acceptance and empathy, the support I provide can translate to people from many different walks of life.

My approach

Our therapy will center around you. My approach utilizes various therapeutic approaches that will be tailored to your specific goals, interests, strengths, and needs. I will support you in creating action-oriented steps to help you reach obtainable goals.

My communication style

I will provide you with a non-judgmental, understanding, and compassionate conversation. I will provide you with a safe space that will allow for a positive therapeutic experience. My goal is to support your journey while confronting dysfunction in a non-threatening manner.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a passion for helping others. The human condition is one of struggle and suffering, but it is also one of joy and happiness. There are times when we all need support to get unstuck. To find our balance. Helping others find their purpose and balance in life has been a rewarding experience for me.

My goals for you

Your goals will be based on your desired outcome. Goals will incorporate your strengths and interests. Goals will be obtainable, realistic, and proven to support mental well-being.

Our first session

Our first session will require us to set the groundwork. A positive therapeutic experience begins with building a healthy therapist-client relationship. I will get to know you and gain an understanding of your needs. I will answer any questions you have about the therapeutic process and help you understand what to expect.
