"My mission is to convey love and compassion and connect with you to bring understanding and hope to motivate you toward improved knowledge, health, and wellness”
~Mary M Garcia, LIMHP, LPC I understand this feeling and want you to know it is healthy to reach out. I have faith in the counseling process and the small steps that can lead you to lasting reward and renewed hope that things will an
d do change. Individuals, couples and families can benefit from therapy for many life situations. Together we will develop a plan to move forward whether it is grief, anxiety, a traumatic event, anger, depression, parenting struggles, premarital, marital, life transitions or other concerns. I hold membership in the American Counseling Association, Nebraska Counseling Association, and the American Association of Christian Counselors to bring you the most current knowledge. My bachelor's degree in Family Science from the University of Nebraska of Lincoln at Omaha has given me a solid foundation to understand family systems. In my twenty years of working with children, adolescents, adults and families I have utilized techniques to aid in parenting and social skills, anger management, coping and relaxation strategies. As I continued to dive deeper in the field I was called for continued study and knowledge to serve individuals, families and couples in a different capacity as a counselor. I began my journey of my master's degree at Grace University and upon its closure I completed it at Crown College. As my mission continues to unfold I am ready and on fire to serve you as a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner and Licensed Professional Counselor. My mission is to convey love and compassion and connect with you to bring understanding and hope to motivate you towards improved knowledge, health and wellness. I am here to hold space for you and truly hear your struggle and how it may be impacting you. I utilize evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy with emphasis on emotion focused and attachment theory. My primary goal is to help you accomplish your goal. Take the first step by calling me to see if I am the right fit for you and/or your family.
