Margarita Garcia, Psy.D. a licensed psychologist. I have experience working with children and adults. I aim to provide a client-centered, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment. I tailor therapy to the unique needs of each client, based on the problem, goals, and the individual's expectations and motivations.

We are not so much defined by what happens to us in life, but rather by how we respond to what happens. Intuitively we may know problems are opportunities to change and to grow, but sometimes we feel stuck, anxious and disempowered. Please know emotional pain is the only thing in life likely to jump-start a process of personal transformation. You are likely on the threshold of making that inward turn--taking yourself more seriously by addressing the pain of the past, accepting responsibility for prior choices and formulating commitments to do some things differently from here forward.

Do you feel on track or struggling with juggling work, relationships, and just plain life? You know you want change but how can change happen? Maybe it is time to create a new path, your path. I will collaborate with you to understand the patterns you are repeating & help you develop new skills. Areas of focus include relationships, communication, boundaries, assertiveness, and self awareness. This is practical and grounded depth psychotherapy for both daily and longterm well being. I offer a complimentary fifteen minute phone consult so reach out!

You don’t have to go it alone. I am here to help you find your way back to living the life you want. It can happen. I'm here every step of the way. Because sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we planned. We didn’t know we would end up getting divorced, or blending families, or being a single parent, but here we are. We didn’t know we would adopt instead of birthing our own child, or be raising our grandchildren, or the difficulties we would face raising children in an LGBTQ home. But, here we are. These challenges can cause tremendous anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, confusion, sadness, and suffering. I understand.
