Great to meet you!

Hi there! My name is Shannon Garcia, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m really glad you’re reaching out for help and support—it’s a big first step. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Western New Mexico University in 2017. I’ve been lucky enough to work with children, teens, adults, and families for over 9 years. My areas of focus include PTSD, trauma, life challenges, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and anxiety. I am certified in EMDR and TF-CBT, and I also use a range of other therapeutic approaches, including CBT, ACT, and Family Systems, to support healing for individuals and families.I’m here to listen, support, and guide you through whatever you're facing.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take a non-judgmental, collaborative approach, working together to explore all areas of life and help improve your overall well-being. As a trauma-informed, person-centered, and strength-based therapist, I’m committed to making sure you feel heard, supported, and understood. Life brings new challenges at every stage, and I’m here to help you navigate and process them with care and compassion.

What you can expect from our first session

In our work together, you can expect to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, along with effective coping strategies to foster personal growth. I’m committed to helping you connect with your true self and navigate life’s challenges. I’m here to walk alongside you and support your healing and growth. I look forward to beginning this journey with you.
