Great to meet you!

I'm Abel Garcia, a licensed clinical social worker. I aim to help you build a strong sense of self, explore your feelings, focus on your strengths, and find meaning.

For those who may find it difficult to open up, especially men. I strive to create a space where you can tackle what’s on your mind without feeling judged or pushed. We’ll work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you. It’s about getting real and finding practical solutions that help you move forward, one step at a time.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with humanistic techniques to create a holistic, strength-based experience. I focus on building a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe being vulnerable. I tailor sessions to each individual, working at their pace to address their unique challenges and goals. My aim is to empower clients with practical tools and insights that promote lasting personal growth and well-being.

What you can expect from our first session

My strength based approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe it is important to create a sense of safety and security in my practice. With safety comes vulnerability, and when we reach that space we will do our best work to help you feel seen, accepted, heard, and loved.
