Vanessa Garcia

Hi and welcome to my page! Are you struggling with a recent break-up or feeling unsure within a relationship? Or maybe you’re feeling stuck now that you’ve graduated, changed jobs, moved out, or otherwise had a big life change. I can help you navigate these foreign territories in a way that feels true to you and your values. I specialize in working with young adults and young women struggling with big life changes. Pain is inevitable and we will all face challenges in our lives. Together, we can learn ways to accept our inner experiences and manage overwhelming emotions. We will also explore what matters to you most and commit to taking actions aligning with those values.

I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy services in a variety of settings, ranging from group private practices, community mental health agencies, and public schools. I attended the University of Central Florida, where I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2017 and my Master of Social Work in 2020. One of my biggest personal values is lifelong learning, so I regularly attend trainings to hone my skills in approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also pursuing a Doctor of Social Work degree at The University of Alabama.
