Karin Woo Garcia, LMFT

Hello! I’m glad you are here. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your healing journey. My name is Karin Woo Garcia. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have been practicing for over 27 years. I specialize in addressing the needs of individuals with multiple co-occurring diagnoses and challenges, and those seeking support for mood, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges.

Trauma. Anxiety. Depression. Grief. Interpersonal Relationship Conflict. All can be overwhelming leaving people stuck in isolation, guilt, terror, shame, or confusion, altering one’s sense of self. I believe each one of us can be fulfilled in our lives, and that together we can find ways to remove obstacles and foster meaningful, lasting change. I aim to create a space where you will feel unconditionally supported as we navigate through not only specific symptoms, but also addressing your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. You will do some hard work, but you won’t be doing it alone.

I believe in a holistic, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to healing and draw upon Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) based interpersonal and emotional regulation, Seeking Safety, somatic approaches based on identified needs, and other integrative mind-body interventions combining insight with action. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at the University of California, Irvine, and my Master’s Degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling at Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, California.

We all need a little help some times, and that’s what led you here. Opening up to someone you can trust begins the healing process and re-empowers you with the necessary tools to navigate life’s challenges more successfully. I look forward to beginning your journey of healing with you!
