Karin Woo Garcia

Hello! I'm glad you are here. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your healing journey. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have been practicing for over 27 years. I believe the most complicated problems can be solved, and that I, along with the individual, can find ways to remove obstacles to help ensure that everyone can live to their greatest potential.

Every individual I work with has a unique story, perspectives, and beliefs. I believe your therapeutic journey must honor all of those in order for meaningful healing to occur. I will provide you with a safe space for you to feel heard and understood without the fear judgement. I aim to create a space where you will feel unconditionally supported as we navigate thru not only specific symptoms, but also addressing your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. I believe in a holistic, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to healing and draw upon solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) based interpersonal and emotional regulation, somatic approaches based on identified needs, and other integrative mind-body interventions combining insight with action.

Once you have taken the courageous step of sharing your story with me, we will work together to clarify your goals for treatment and your overall desired outcome. I will support you in recognizing your triggers, practicing healthier coping skills, and feeling more empowered in your life. You will do some hard work, but you won’t be doing it alone. My ultimate goal for you is that one day you will no longer need me; that you will have found your voice to ask for what you need from others as support, that you will feel empowered to pursue what brings meaning to your life, and that you possess the necessary skills to manage life's ups and downs.
