I specialize in treatment of psychosis, anxiety, and depression. I completed my counseling degree at the University of Missouri in St. Louis in 2021 and am currently working towards a doctorate in psychology through Ponce Health Sciences University. I have worked for inpatient hospitals for two years and in private practice before that. Currently, I am working in a jail setting for competency restoration services.

Some things stay buried for years before you are finally ready to look at them. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults carrying trauma, grief, family conflict, and depression. Some of my clients come to me in the middle of a crisis. Others come because something from the past is quietly running their present. In either case, you deserve a space that is honest and supportive while you do the hard work of becoming more like the version of yourself you want to be.

Therapist

Therapy can be a powerful space for support, insight, and meaningful change. With more than 20 years of experience, I work with clients across the lifespan, including those in the "sandwich generation," older adults, caregivers, and people facing serious illness. I help individuals navigate complex family dynamics, work and health stressors, and major life transitions. A central focus of my work is helping clients communicate more effectively in the relationships that matter most-with partners, parents, adult children, and siblings-and break the patterns that keep important conversations stuck.

Therapist

If you're dealing with anxiety that won't let up, a life change that's left you off-balance, or relationship tension that keeps getting in the way — I can help. After 10 years as a school social worker in St. Louis, I know what it looks like when people are overwhelmed, and what it actually takes to move through it. Today I work with adults navigating similar territory: the pressure that builds quietly, the transitions that feel harder than expected, the moments in relationships that leave you stuck. My focus is on making therapy practical, grounded, and worth your time.

Gene Garcia

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Springfield, MO


I am a therapist and strategic behavioral‐health leader with more than a decade of experience supporting youth, families, and adults navigating complex trauma, transition, and systems involvement. My background spans emergency shelter work, foster‐care transition programs, community‐based counseling, and clinical supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Clients often describe me as steady, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the stories people carry. I bring a trauma‐informed lens to every interaction, honoring the resilience people develop in the face of adversity. My work is shaped by years of program development, crisis intervention, and advocacy for underserved communities — and by a belief that healing grows in environments where people feel seen, safe, and respected.

If you are moving through a major life transition, especially one you did not choose, you may notice that old ways of coping no longer work. Many people I see are adapting to a new chapter, trying to build skills for what is next while caring about how change will affect the people they love. Some arrive unsure about trying therapy again after a difficult experience. Together, we explore how your family of origin and earliest relationships echo in what you face today.
