Deyanira Garcia

Hi there, I’m Deyanira!
Hello, my name is Deyanira Garcia, Dey for short. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (132462). I provide therapeutic services to adolescents and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relational issues, and trauma. I use a variety of approaches to build understanding of your inner dialogue, your values, and assist in processing difficult experiences.

My approach
My therapeutic style begins with building a trusting relationship and assisting clients with processing and making connections by asking intentional questions. My approach includes processing unaddressed emotions, challenging unhelpful narratives, and building coping skills to manage life stressors.

My focus
My experience consists of supporting counseling and education for children ages 0-5 who display emotional and behavioral symptoms that may lead to serious mental health problems and children 5-18 years old who have experienced trauma through abuse, neglect, abandonment, or as a victim of a crime. In addition to working with children, I also work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, relational issues, PTSD, and other life stressors.

My communication style
I pride myself on providing a safe and empathetic space for my clients throughout their journey. Taking the first step can be difficult, therefore, I like to provide a space where you allow yourself to be yourself free of judgment. I am grateful for the opportunity to stand by your side during your therapeutic journey.

My journey to mental healthcare
I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in a field where I had the opportunity to help others. The greatest moments in my career consist of seeing the transformations and resilience of my clients.

My goals for you
I emphasize the importance of going at your pace and assisting you set goals for yourself. We will work collaboratively to help you meet those goals.

My first session with you
The first session is focused on getting to know each other, making sure that you feel comfortable, and a chance for you to tell your story and explain the problems you are experiencing.
