Hello and Welcome! I’m Dr. Denise Garcia. Firstly, I’d like to say thank you for taking the first steps in your healing journey with me. I know life is incredibly complex, and taking this step is a big deal. Do you feel overwhelmed with your young child or are pregnant and thinking of what to do when your baby arrives? Do you feel like the information on parenting needs to be more consistent and more accessible to follow? You may be overwhelmed by wondering if you are doing the best for your child. Is your child having frequent meltdowns, tantrums, cries easily, or appears discontent most of the time? I help parents feel empowered and knowledgeable about their parenting journey. Feel confident in the way you are raising your child. My deep understanding of child development, child psychology, societal constructs, trauma, and sensory-process integration informs my unique approach to therapy for all ages and stages in life. I will help you explore themes of your childhood that may be hindering growth. I use evidence-based strategies and coping tools to improve your mental wellness as we navigate through this process together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will review your confidentiality rights, and I’ll ask if you have any questions about them. Then we will understand your concerns and what you would like to get out of therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths lie with parents of children aged birth to 5 years—pregnant couples who may be overwhelmed about raising their baby. Maybe you came from a chaotic home and want to do things differently. Adults with children in early childhood who are struggling with mental health symptoms and their children are exhibiting prolonged crying, tantrums, meltdowns, and separation anxiety. Adults with trauma in their developmental years, specifically the pre-natal and childhood.
