Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in New Braunfels, TX

IF YOU FOUND MY PROFILE, YOU LIKELY DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU...

Healing from trauma, anxiety, or a nervous system stuck in survival mode is going to take more than a therapist who just smiles, nods, and passes a tissue week after week while you talk in circles.

​The very fact that your search results landed you on this exact profile isn’t random.. It means you’re aching for real help with the heavy stuff—Trauma, Anxiety and a Nervous System that feels constantly fried every single week, people take to my "couch" because, when it comes to their painful past, they refuse to accept that they "Just have to learn to live" with what happened to them.

Fortunately, that's a LIE.

​What is unfortunate, is that standard therapy schooling often skims over the deep complexities of PTSD, C-PTSD, and severe anxiety disorders- Let alone teach the modalities to effectively treat it.

In fact, well-meaning professionals can unknowingly cause people to take steps backward instead of forward.

The science is clear: true healing from these issues requires specialized, heavy-hitting approaches.

These are the approaches I am closely trained in as an ADVANCED CLINICAL CERTIFIED TRAUMA SPECIALIST.

​Sometimes people wonder, "Whoa. Wait. Maybe the experiences causing me distress aren't 'big' enough for these sophisticated treatments?" My answer to that is simple: Your nervous system doesn’t possess a tape measure, and it doesn't read history books. It doesn't care if your past looks like a Hollywood movie or a quiet, slow-burning ache. If a memory, a relationship, or an old wound is keeping you stuck in survival mode today, it is big enough.

I specialize in working with people with Anxiety, Phobias, PTSD, Adjustment Disorders and Codependency. I also work with people on setting and maintaining boundaries, goal-setting, assertiveness training, communication skills, changing thoughts and behaviors and coping skills. I provide support when you are in crisis, need help with parenting skills and work with you to reduce symptoms that affect your everyday life. If you want to incorporate bible scripture or prayer, I am happy to provide this support! If requested, sessions can include walking, movement, meeting inside or outside the office.

Not currently accepting patients for therapy only.

My name is Marci Garcia. I’m a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a master’s degree in nursing. With over ten years of experience as a nurse in various healthcare settings, I’ve been an NP for two years. Currently employed full-time, I’m seeking to establish my own practice and build a small caseload. I treat patients with diverse diagnoses and psychosocial challenges.

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

With over 30 years in healthcare and a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, I’ve spent the past 7 years offering therapy to a diverse range of clients. I focus on CBT and geriatric therapy, provide talk therapy, and support individuals through the grieving process. I work with those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss.

Hi, I'm Jael. I support clients working through anxiety, stress, life transitions, and personal growth, as well as family issues, identity, ADHD, and anger management. I am passionate about helping people feel heard, supported, and empowered. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides caring, personalized mental health support. I help people with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, stress etc.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, heard, and respected. I take time to listen and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. This may include medication, simple coping tools, and ongoing support.

I understand that starting mental health care can feel overwhelming, so I keep the process clear, supportive, and focused on what matters most to you.

I offer virtual visits with flexible scheduling. I welcome people from all backgrounds and look forward to helping you feel better and more in control of your mental health.
