Licensed to practice in California and accepts 22 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Grief, Trauma and PTSD and 6 more.
I believe healing is hidden in the stories we share. I'm Anthony Garcia, LMFT, a trauma-focused therapist trained in EMDR who helps adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, and life's most challenging transitions. By helping clients explore the experiences that shaped them and uncover the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, I help them find relief from emotional distress and begin writing a new chapter grounded in resilience, meaning, and hope.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you've been carrying things alone. In our first session, I'll take time to understand your story, what brings you to therapy, and the goals you hope to achieve. Together, we'll identify the challenges you're facing and begin creating a path toward healing that feels both meaningful and manageable.
My greatest strength is creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. By combining EMDR, CBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, I help clients move beyond symptom management and address the deeper experiences shaping their lives. I believe lasting healing happens when evidence-based treatment is paired with a safe therapeutic relationship and the courage to share one's story.
I’m best positioned to work with adults who experience anxiety, trauma, depression, or emotional overwhelm, especially when those struggles feel heavier in the evening hours. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally exhausted, stuck in patterns of overthinking, restlessness, or unresolved pain. I help clients who are ready to not only calm those evening spikes but also work toward deeper, lasting mental well-being.

EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients process painful memories, reduce emotional distress, and build internal stability. My approach emphasizes safety and pacing, focusing first on resourcing and emotional regulation before deeper processing. I tailor EMDR to each client’s needs, ensuring the work supports both nighttime relief and long-term healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT aligns perfectly with my practical, compassionate approach to therapy. As someone who deeply values real-world solutions, I use CBT to empower my clients with effective tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and self-esteem struggles. Together, we challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, creating clarity and building strategies for meaningful change. My clients learn to confidently apply these techniques in their daily lives, sparking hope and achieving lasting growth.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy resonates deeply with my belief in the power of human connection. I know firsthand that the stories from our earliest relationships profoundly shape who we become. In my practice, I guide clients in exploring their attachment patterns, healing relational wounds, and nurturing secure, fulfilling connections with themselves and others. By compassionately addressing underlying attachment wounds, clients experience greater emotional resilience, deeper trust, and lasting relational fulfillment.
