Amaris Garcia

Amaris Garcia

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.

At the core of my work is this belief:

You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.

If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.

Therapist

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who believes meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, better understand themselves, and work toward lasting change.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have completed Levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy, along with specialized training in Treating Affairs and Trauma. My clinical approach also draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I work with adults, couples, and first responders experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest in supporting law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other public safety professionals navigating the unique demands of high-stress careers, cumulative stress, relationships, and work-life balance.

I also enjoy helping couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, navigate conflict, and work through concerns involving trust and infidelity.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I help clients recognize patterns, build useful skills, and make meaningful changes while tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs, experiences, and strengths.
