Arlene Garcia, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Arlene!

I have experience as a psychotherapist supporting individuals through life's challenges.

My focus

I prefer working with people who are open to change and healing.

My approach

My experience includes offering EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and helping people work through various issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, family issues, grief and loss.

My communication style

You can expect warmth, support, empathy, and active listening from me during a session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this field because of my strong purpose and drive to help others.

My goals for you

I believe that we all have sources of resilience, and I am passionate about helping people make change in their lives through realizing their strengths. Your ideas matter and become the blueprint for change.

Our first session

My first session is our opportunity to understand your needs and my strengths as a therapist. I am most interested in what brought a person to therapy. Over time, with insight, we can adjust the answer to that question as needed.
