Yaro Garcia

PhD, LMHC

Adults | Children | Adolescents | Veterans

Hello, I am Dr. Garcia; please call me Yaro. My degrees are in general psychology with an emphasis in cognition and clinical psychology. I am a licensed mental health counselor. My approach is engaging, straightforward, caring, warm, safe, non-judgmental, and treatment based. I understand it is a difficult decision to seek therapy, I take the time to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with you. My role as a therapist is to participate in healing wounds, and to make treatment recommendations that will effectively help you feel better. If you are struggling with past/current/future experiences that are hurting you, I can help.

I have 13 years of experience in treating mental health. Our daily lives are disrupted by thoughts, feelings, conflict, trauma, the past, a relationship, children, work, education, sleep, etc. When this happens, our mental health is compromised, and we do not function at our best. If you are in need of support and searching for a new way to deal with a certain issue, it is okay to seek professional help to get you back on track and reach your full potential. I can help you become more self-aware, less triggered, emotionally regulated, confident, and satisfied.

Techniques I use include cognitive processing, EMDR, brainspotting, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, prolonged exposure therapy, traumatic incident reduction, and others. I am a professor and recognized speaker on subjects related to subjects.
