Nathalie Garcia-Reyes

If you’re usually the person holding everything together for everyone else or trying to figure out where you even fit in, making room for your own feelings can feel completely unfamiliar. I work closely with adolescents and adults navigating complex family dynamics, children of immigrants balancing two cultures, and generational cycle breakers ready to heal old patterns.

​Whether you're carrying the weight of being the eldest daughter, feeling unseen as a middle child, or trying to establish your independence as the youngest, family roles and birth order deeply shape how we move through the world. As a queer Latina LCSW, I specialize in helping you unlearn people-pleasing, process relational complex trauma, and build an authentic life outside of everyone else's expectations. You don't have to carry it all alone.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, strength based and deeply affirming. I don't see you as someone who needs to be "fixed." I am here to remind you of your inherent worth and help you reconnect with the strength, wisdom, and resilience you already carry inside. In Mexican culture, there’s a word apapachar, which means to nurture, soothe, or embrace with the soul. That kind of gentle, protective care is at the heart of how I hold space for you.

​In our sessions, we will make room to safely process hard emotions without judgement, inner child healing, and help you build practical boundary tools without the heavy guilt. You can step in, inhale, exhale, and bring your whole, authentic self.

Starting therapy takes vulnerability, and you don't need to have everything figured out to begin. My priority is to build a supportive, safe relationship where your values and goals guide our work from day one.

​During our first session, we will gently explore your background, discuss what brought you to therapy, and look at what support feels right for you. From there, we will work together toward true inner healing at a pace that feels comfortable with zero pressure or expectation to change before you are ready. I look forward to hearing your story and walking alongside you. Sanando Juntos. Healing Together.
