Vanessa Garcia, MEd, LPC-Associate
Supervised by Dr. Gregory Scott Sparrow, EdD, LPC-S

I work with clients with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorders. My client population ranges from early to late adulthood. I would like to assist people in regaining a sense of stability and contentment in their lives whether they are struggling emotionally or are going through a transitional phase through coping skills and by helping them gain insight into their life patterns.

I have worked with young adults, adults, and teenagers in the past, as well as, a group. I tend to take an eclectic approach to counseling based on the individual's needs, but always keep a person centered, unconditional positive regard approach in mind. I have experience with cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, and some schema therapy.

I am a detailed oriented counselor who has a great appreciation for people's vulnerability and willingness to gain insight. Through unconditional positive regard I hope to help individuals cope with whatever situation they may find themselves in. More than anything I enjoy listening to people's stories and trying to help through different forms of therapy.
