Carmen Garcia, Lmhc

Free 15 minute consult available! You can schedule with me on headway or by emailing [email protected]. I always respond within 24 hours. You might feel stuck in the same patterns—overthinking everything, repeating relationship dynamics, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

I help people understand what’s actually keeping them stuck and start making real, lasting shifts.

I’m a direct, compassionate therapist. I won’t just sit back and nod—I’ll help you notice patterns in real time, understand what’s underneath them, and support you in doing something different.

Many of my clients come in feeling frustrated because they’ve done a lot of thinking or talking about their struggles, but nothing has really changed. Our work focuses on helping you move forward—not just gain insight, but actually shift how you feel, respond, and relate to yourself and others.

If you’re feeling stuck and ready for something to actually change—not just talk about it—this work can be a good fit.

My approach is active, collaborative, and insight-driven. We’ll look at what’s coming up for you in the present while also understanding the deeper patterns and experiences shaping it.

I integrate trauma-informed care, parts work, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and AEDP to help you build awareness, regulate emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change.

This means we won’t just talk about what’s happening—we’ll work on shifting the patterns that are keeping you stuck so you can feel more grounded, clear, and in control of your life.

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been dealing with, and what you want to feel different. You’ll get a clear sense of how I work and what working together could look like.

I’ll ask thoughtful, direct questions and begin offering insights early on, so you leave the session not just feeling heard—but with more clarity about what’s going on and where to go from here.

My goal is for you to feel understood, supported, and also challenged in a way that helps you grow. Most clients leave early sessions feeling more grounded, aware, and hopeful about making real changes.

I offer evening and weekend availability.
