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.

I use various modalities such as CBT, REBT, Person-Centered, or a combination of approaches and techniques while working with my clients. I can also provide services in Spanish and offer Christian spiritual integration upon request.

I'm a social worker in CA in person with virtual slots in MA and AZ who is passionate for caring for neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, artistic types with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and borderline personality disorder. I have lived experience of OCD and trauma. That means I've done a lot of internal work and I understand the folks who often feel misunderstood in a neurotypical world. Educated at CSUN with an MSW, I have specialties in CBT, ERP, EMDR, PE and DBT.
I love doing this work! I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients, to partner with them, support them in their journey, and witness their growth.
I have had the privilege of doing this work for more than 30 years, learning along the way and stopping only to learn more.
I'm a multicultural first generation female. I enjoy having the privilege to work with a variety of people in an effort to improve lives.
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also hold a degree in Mind-Body Psychology and am trained in clinical hypnotherapy. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in digital marketing, which gives me unique insight into the stressors of fast-paced careers, identity development, and the challenge of balancing ambition with well-being.
I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, including women navigating heartbreak or life transitions, professionals seeking purpose, and individuals healing from trauma, anxiety, or people-pleasing patterns. I’m passionate about helping people live with more intention and emotional freedom.
Therapy is personal, and I do my best to meet people where they are—with curiosity, compassion, and care. As someone who’s done a lot of personal healing work myself, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help. My goal is to create a space where you can be real, be seen, and make meaningful changes at your own pace.
I work primarily with children, adolescents, and families to promote growth and change. With over 25 years of experience in youth mental health and 11 years as a licensed psychologist, I support clients dealing with issues at home and school settings, disturbances in mood such as anxiety, depression, or anger, attention problems, behavior/conduct problems, family conflict, and autism.
I am licensed clinical psychologist in California. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and MA in Counseling Psychology.
I am trained in the depth psychological tradition (psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic and Jungian/analytic psychology). I listen to how deep-rooted beliefs, current dilemmas in daily life, socio-cultural factors, and emotional responses are communicating through the expression of psychological symptoms.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has a wide network of therapists across neighborhoods like Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, and the Valley, so finding the right fit starts with knowing what you want support for. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists in Los Angeles, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a city as large as LA, more options can make the search feel less direct. Location, format, and schedule can help narrow the list. You might prefer an office near home, work, or a transit route, or a virtual appointment that fits around your calendar. It can also help to filter by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with clients.
Therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
