Hi, I’m Jennifer Garcia, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and EMDR therapist, passionate about helping you find healing and growth. I offer a supportive, safe space where we can explore your challenges and build on your inner resilience. You can visit my website https://gratitudeandgrowthcounselingllc.com/ Specializing in EMDR, I work with individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, guiding you through transformative healing. With years of experience and ongoing training, I’m here to support you on your journey to a balanced, fulfilling life. I understand that starting therapy can be daunting, but together we’ll create a plan that fits your unique needs. My goal is to provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely. If you’re ready to start your transformation, I’m here to help. Contact me today to schedule a consultation. Let’s work towards a brighter, more empowered future together.
In our first session, clients can expect an introduction to the therapeutic process. We'll discuss confidentiality, your goals for therapy, and any immediate concerns. I'll gather relevant background information and outline our collaboration. Together, we'll establish a comfortable and trusting environment to begin exploring and addressing your unique needs.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I’m deeply committed to your healing and growth, offering a non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions and challenges at your own pace. My training in EMDR and other evidence-based therapies allows me to bring a thoughtful, structured approach to therapy, while my warmth and empathy help foster a genuine connection. I’m also adaptable, tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs and working collaboratively to help you reach your goals.
I’m here to support anyone who’s been through tough times—whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck in life.

I’m passionate about helping people heal and grow, using approaches like EMDR and CBT to guide you toward resilience and balance. If you're ready to take that first step toward feeling better and building a healthier, more fulfilling life, I’m here for you.
I specialize in Trauma-Informed Care, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel validated and understood. My approach prioritizes trust, safety, and empowerment, allowing you to heal at your own pace. Using trauma-sensitive language, I help clients explore coping strategies, build resilience, and regain a sense of control. I also emphasize cultural competence, ensuring therapy is inclusive and tailored to your unique experiences. Together, we’ll work toward understanding trauma’s impact, fostering self-awareness, and rebuilding trust. My goal is to support your healing journey with compassion, respect, and practical tools for lasting recovery.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and EMDR, helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, identifying patterns that may be holding you back. Using practical tools and evidence-based techniques, I’ll help you develop coping strategies to manage stress, shift negative thinking, and regain a sense of control. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel supported in creating lasting change and building a healthier, more balanced life.
I specialize in couples counseling, providing a supportive space where partners can strengthen their relationship and navigate challenges together. Using evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen emotional connection. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where both partners feel heard and understood. I tailor sessions to your unique needs, offering practical tools to foster mutual understanding, trust, and intimacy. Whether you're working through conflict or major life transitions, I’m here to help you build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals process trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. In EMDR sessions, I guide clients through a structured process using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help reprocess painful experiences, reduce emotional distress, and promote healing. My training ensures a safe, supportive environment where we work at your pace to build coping skills and foster resilience. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, anxiety, or past trauma, I’m here to help you move forward with greater clarity, relief, and empowerment.
With a background in parent-child therapy, I help families build stronger connections through open communication and understanding. My approach focuses on strengthening the parent-child bond, providing a supportive space where families can grow together and improve their overall well-being.
