Finding Therapy in Modesto CA

You have tried to ignore it, tried to talk yourself out of it, tried to convince yourself “It’s not that bad,” read self-help books, and talked with loved ones. Now, you are admitting to yourself that things are not getting better. It’s like finding yourself sitting in a room with piles of self-doubt, worries, concerns, anxieties, and a roller coaster of emotions. You ask yourself: “Will it always be this way?” and “Will I feel like myself again?”

Therapy in Modesto for Anxiety, Grief, and Couples

I’m Laura Garcia (my pronouns are she| her|ella), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #120261. I graduated with a Masters of Science in Counseling from California State University Stanislaus. I enjoy doing my own things to create healing and personal growth, such as being outdoors and taking nature in as one of my favorite things to do, reading, listening to podcasts, yoga, somatic work, spending time with loved ones, and spending time on my own. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals, children, teens, families, and couples and facilitating support groups.

My practice is in the Central Valley, specifically in Modesto, where adults can receive in-person services. Online therapy services are provided for those throughout California. Throughout my years in the mental health field, I saw a great need in my community for a safe space to hold such immense pain, stressors, and life experiences. Furthermore, an opportunity to increase accessibility for Spanish-speaking individuals.

There is a need for a safe space to hold hope, liberation, and freedom to unpack and sort through it all. A space to regain a sense of yourself that has perhaps been lost.

As a Therapist in Modesto CA, the focus is on working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, grief, painful emotions, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, perfectionism, and couples work. I help adults who are ready to dive in, understand, heal, change, and grow. I help by inviting you to show up as you are to be met with compassion, authenticity, humor, and empathy.

My approach is humanistic and client-centered, focused on self-compassion and embracing the person as a whole. I utilize mindfulness to create insight and awareness into your landscape (inner world) of thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and body to live a life that aligns with your values and honors your whole being. We work in a relationship founded on mutual respect, trust, compassion, and accountability.

When we are able to work towards healing and understanding of ourselves, we create an opportunity for healing our relationships and communities. We can create healing on our own as well healing in community and connection.

Whether we begin by figuring out what needs to be addressed or you have an idea of what is going on, I can be of support. I focus on working with clients on a weekly basis to provide the space needed to create healing and growth. I tend to focus on doing long-term work with my clients.

I help you feel less stressed and more assured about making decisions, creating change, or acceptance as needed.
