Tony Garcia
(he/him)
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family and have practiced in California for over 27 years. My experience includes working with a variety of presenting issues in therapy including Trauma, PTSD, Abuse (Physical/Sexual, Emotional/Mental), Grief, Abandonment, Victims of Crime/War, Anxiety, and Depression. I am experienced in working with multiculturally diverse adults, adolescents, and children and am also bilingual in Spanish and English.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The client will be allowed to describe his/her concerns and reasons for seeking out therapy in their own words.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I enjoy working with clients who have either tried traditional therapy in the past, as well as clients who have never been in therapy who want a highly structured and focused treatment to address thoughts, symptoms and behaviors that are causing the client much distress in their lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Traumatized and/or Depressed Adults. Clients with a history of negative experiences in life.

Tony was immediately understanding and very open to directly addressing trauma. With supportive statements it was so easy to talk to him, just this first time! I appreciated making a point to have a goal for EMDR therapy that was concise. I feel very validated.

Highly recommend! Never once in the session did I feel judged or any negative way, felt really seen and an automatic safe space they were very insightful and what I’ve been looking for!

I've only had one session with Tony so far but so far I am impressed at thorough his intake was. From childhood trauma to biological symptoms he asked about it all. I finally feel like I'm going to get the help I've been searching for for over 3 years now.
