Manny Garcia, LPCC

Professional Bio

Hi! My name is Emmanuel Garcia. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with extensive experience working with adults, families, and adolescents with diverse needs. I commonly help clients overcome things like anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, life transitions, and relational issues using clinically proven therapy modalities. Throughout the therapy process, I act as a guide offering accountability, adaptive coping tools, and compassion as we build a therapeutic alliance to reach the goals you set for yourself.

As a therapist deeply inspired by my own transformative journey, I understand firsthand the profound impact therapy can have. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by the lack of access to mental health resources in my community and the limited understanding of mental wellness within my cultural and family context. Growing up, I wasn’t aware that therapy was a viable option for support. However, my experiences traveling the world and encountering profound compassion and care from others allowed me to connect with the positive impact of therapy and inspired me to pursue this path for myself and others.

My therapy style places an emphasis on creating a supportive and empowering environment for my clients to radiate hope and resilience as they cope through hardships, challenge maladaptive patterns, and find meaning in the life that they live. I really appreciate holding space for clients, guiding them through their struggles, and witnessing their growth and development. I am continually honored to support individuals in their healing process, especially those dealing with trauma, despair, hopelessness, and a poor sense of self. Whatever you may be going through, therapy can be a transformative and courageous step towards self-compassion, hope, and acceptance. As a therapist I am committed to helping my clients maximize their physical, mental, and emotional well-being, while embracing hope and the healing journey.

Outside of my practice, I find joy in hiking through nature, embarking on road trips, backpacking in different countries, staying active through physical fitness, and raising my Siberian husky. I cherish the present moment and find laughter with my loved ones to be a vital part of my well-being.

I’m looking forward to learning more about you!

Sincerely,
Emmanuel Garcia, LPCC
