About Us

 

JACKIE GARCIA, LCSW | FOUNDER

MY STORY

My name is Jackie Garcia, a bilingual Spanish Speaking Licensed Therapist in California with over 7 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. My clinical experiences range from mental health outpatient programs, non-profit organizations, field-based community mental health and private practice.

I grew up in Tijuana, Baja California until I was 11 years old. My parents migrated to the U.S. to pursue a better life for my siblings and I. As many of you know, middle school years can be difficult to say the least. As a teen, I struggled adjusting to a new culture, new language, new friends, new trends, you name it! However, these transformative years made an impact in my life and led me to the path of becoming a therapist. I encountered my first therapist during this phase in my life.

Humans are hard-wired for closeness, belonging, and connection. We are not meant to heal alone. I am a therapist AND client. My therapist actively helps me overcome life transition, adjustments, and hardships to improve my quality of life. So, it is safe to say, therapy offers a broad array of benefits for all of us, whatever our circumstances, conditions, and concerns.
