Angela Garcia

Hello, My name is Angela Garcia. I am an LPCC and have been in the mental health field for about 11 years. My specialty and love is working with clients in the criminal justice system, and mental health/drug court. However, I love also working with all individuals to help them create opportunities to change their lives.

My approach

The main theories I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Motivation interviewing, and Solution Focused.

My focus

I have gained a lot of experience working with a range of mental health challenges, including highly acute clients with significant diagnoses such as Bipolar and Schizophrenia. I am comfortable working in many settings and would describe myself as strength-based, and inclusive.

My communication style

I consider myself an active listener and like to come alongside all clients as they decide to make positive changes in their lives. I am supportive, and find joy in helping people identify their goals, and make them a reality.

My goals for you

I believe that goal setting in therapy needs to be the client's lead, and we can collaborate on what you need, and how I can help. I believe that goals will mean more when they are established by you, rather than me. If you are unsure, I am here to help guide you and can help you identify areas of growth in your life that you want to change.

My first session with you

Our first session will be generally getting to know each other, as I believe that building rapport is the most important thing that we will do together.
