Emmanuel Garcia

Emmanuel Garcia

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Los Angeles, CA


I’m Emmanuel Garcia, a Mexican American therapist, first-generation college graduate, and founder of Radiate Hope Therapy. I specialize in supporting adults and adolescents navigating trauma, substance use, identity struggles, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel weighed down by emotions or uncertain about their direction, especially during sobriety or recovery.

Growing up, I witnessed how mental health was often stigmatized and silenced, especially for men in Latino communities. I know how isolating that silence can feel. My own journey through therapy and recovery taught me that true strength isn’t in staying quiet, it’s in showing up for yourself and beginning to heal. That lived experience shapes the empathy, understanding, and care I bring to every session.

Sophia Bicos

Sophia Bicos

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • South Pasadena, CA


I'm a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in the Los Angeles area.

I received my Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, California, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Southern California. I'm committed to expanding my knowledge and training, which has included workshops and trainings on treating trauma in children, adults, and older populations, as well as trainings on attachment, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ADHD, and working with couples.

I've worked with clients in recovery from chemical addiction, people dealing with chronic mental illness such as schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, and couples and individuals working through issues of infertility, adoption, family building and life transitions.

Regardless of the age of my client, whether I'm working with a 25 year old struggling with career options, or married couples facing the challenge of dealing with infertility, or an individual in her 70s facing the difficult transitions that come with aging, my approach always begins from a humanistic core, filled with respect, compassion and consideration. In this search for a meaningful, integrated life, I work to help my clients make their own decisions, find their own happiness, and deepen their own relationships with health and vitality. It's your process. You may be struggling to find your way back to a life you once enjoyed, or you may be seeking a path of discovery for a life you want to live. I want to help.
