Sarah Jackson Garcia
(she/her)
My name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of licensure and eight years of experience providing therapy. I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked with adolescents, adults, children, and families around concerns such as trauma, grief, and life stressors. My goal is to support clients in their healing in a way that fits them, because no two people are the same. I take pride in building strong rapport and trust, and in creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is a time for us to get to know each other. I will ask questions to better understand what brings you to therapy, but it is also a space where I invite you to ask questions and get to know me. Therapy is a collaborative relationship, and building trust is an important part of the process. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling supported and more comfortable moving forward together
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is eclectic and client-centered. I draw from humanistic, person-centered, and CBT-informed practices, while always tailoring treatment to the individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model, each client’s needs, experiences, and goals guide the work we do together. I focus on meeting clients where they are and using approaches that best support their diagnosis, goals, and growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to support adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, ruminating thoughts, and challenges in peer or family relationships. I also work with individuals navigating grief and trauma. Many of my clients are looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier ways of coping.

My treatment methods
Humanistic
My approach is person-centered, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. I use an integrative style, drawing from evidence-based practices such as CBT and systems-based approaches when helpful, while prioritizing collaboration, trust, and the client’s lived experience.
