Hi, I'm Mary M Garcia, LIMHP, LPC and I can't wait to meet you. Stepping out and sharing your story can feel scary. You are brave and courageous.

"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 and 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.

What does it feel like to start Professional Counseling?

Great question!

It might feel scary or exciting at first to reach out and show up for the first initial session. For another person different feelings or thoughts may come up. That's completely normal.

You show up and decide what we work on. You decide the goals you would like to accomplish. We walk together towards those goals.

It should begin to feel safe in this space. You should feel heard and understood here. This space is held for you during each session. This space is yours to share, express, and work towards healing.

It is not magic or easy but can feel sacred, calming, and healing. It might also at times feel stressful and emotionally hard. Yet we walk together in this space towards healing. You get to lead the way.

The goal is to take the work you are doing inside therapy and transfer it outside of this space. To make it a part of your day to day. This happens one step at a time. As each step and day grows that's when healing can happen.

Healing happens. One purposeful step at a time.
