If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you're not alone. Life's transitions, relationship struggles, stress, anxiety, and depression can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and uncertain about what comes next. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family challenges, relationship concerns, grief, anger, maternal mental health issues, women's issues, and life transitions. Many of my clients are balancing personal and professional responsibilities while trying to care for everyone around them, often at the expense of their own well-being. Together, we'll create a supportive environment where you can slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with what matters most. My goal is to help you build confidence, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful changes that support a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Alexis Garcia

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Originally from California, I now happily call Austin, Texas home. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of the Incarnate Word, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a concentration in Neurofeedback Therapy.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients ranging from 4 to 90 years old in nonprofit organizations, private practice, and correctional facilities. These diverse experiences have strengthened my ability to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs.

I believe that therapy is built on a foundation of trust, authenticity, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, supported, and empowered. I value the relationships I build with my clients and consider it a privilege to walk alongside them as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
