My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for many years. It’s helped many of my patient challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Patricia Garcia is excellent. Two therapy styles are not enough to describe this exceptional healthcare provider. She is open-minded, direct, solution oriented, intelligent and empowering. All of those amazing abilities and being authentic and warm. This type of care is rare, and I am very grateful I found her.

I have been working with Patricia for over a year now. Watching my growth to a happier healthier version of myself has been so amazing. She is very attentive. She makes me feel like a human, not a patient. It doesn’t feel as if I’m talking to a robot. She’s been one of my biggest cheerleaders over the past year and i would suggest her to everyone if I could! I could not be more grateful for her. ❤️
