Christy Garcia

Unfortunately, time doesn't always heal all wounds. Maybe you’ve been struggling on your own, hoping things would get better over time, but as each day passes, you feel the same, or worse! Perhaps you’ve been debating about whether you should reach out for help, but have beaten yourself up because you tell yourself you should be able to just “get over it.” Or, maybe you've tried therapy before, only to be left feeling like you needed something more. You've gained the insight, you know what the problem is, but you're looking for something more...something deeper. I’m so glad you’re here and have taken the courageous step to reach out for support! There’s hope - you CAN feel better. Hi, I'm Christy. I'm a trauma therapist located in Chula Vista. I offer both in-person and online therapy for California residents. I’m trained in EMDR and enjoy assisting adult survivors of childhood trauma gain healing and wholeness in their lives. Additionally, I enjoy helping adults overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, and grief & loss. Lastly, as a follower of Christ, I can incorporate a faith-based perspective into therapy for those who wish to include that in their treatment. However, I want you to know that if your background differs from mine, I respect you and will not impose my values on you, and I am capable of holding space for differing opinions. As your therapist, I'm passionate about helping you overcome your challenges by gaining effective skills to cope and feel better. My goal as your therapist is to help you better understand yourself and why you're struggling, so you can stop beating yourself up and feeling like something's wrong with you. I offer more than just a listening ear. Together, we'll work to get to the root of your struggles. Additionally, I'll teach you effective coping skills and tools that you can use between sessions, allowing you to heal and experience the transformation you've been longing for. I help clients just like you get to the core of their problem so it can be uprooted while also empowering you with tools to help you better manage your distressing thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Are you ready to start feeling better? Call me today at (619) 494-0754 and let’s get started with a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if I might be the right fit for your needs!
