My name is Normarie Torres-García and I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology, from the Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, and my Postdoctoral Fellowship in Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care in The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. I have a strong background in delivering culturally sensitive services within a patient-centered model and I maintain a strong interest in working within other models of evidence-based interventions and health-care integration.

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

Thank you so much for reaching out. I'm happy to hear about your interest in starting therapy and I'm honored that you are taking the first step! I always like to start this process with an intro phone consultation, at no cost, to learn about what motivates you to seek therapy and how I may be able to help. In this challenging and changing world, making the decision to seek psychotherapy support can be startling yet very worthwhile. I will collaborate with you to assess your life challenges and will help you to grow from your struggles in a neutral safe space and unconditional support through this journey.

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

I offer supportive, non-judgmental, and effective practices to help you.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a treatment approach that helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT aims to help you identify and explore the ways your emotions and thoughts can affect your actions. CBT addresses the here and now, and focuses less on the past. I use CBT to address different Dx: eg. depression, anxiety. CBT has been shown to be very effective in decreasing symptoms and modifying patterns.
