Laura Garcia

Creating a safe space for healing and personal growth is at the heart of Laura Garcia's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #120261) in Modesto, CA, Laura specializes in guiding adults and couples through life's challenges with compassion, support, and accountability.

Laura's practice focuses on four key areas: anxiety therapy, grief counseling, couples counseling, and marriage therapy. Her expertise in these fields is bolstered by her certification as a Grief Therapist, having completed a specialized program designed by world-renowned grief expert David Kessler. This additional training allows her to provide insightful support for various forms of grief, including the physical loss of loved ones (both people and pets) and the emotional challenges that come with significant life transitions.

With a Master of Science in Counseling from California State University Stanislaus, Laura brings a solid educational foundation to her practice. She offers services in both English and Spanish, making her therapeutic approach accessible to a diverse clientele. Laura provides in-person therapy in Modesto, CA, and extends her reach through online therapy sessions available to clients throughout California.

Laura's therapeutic philosophy is centered on empowering clients on their journey of self-exploration, insight, and healing. She believes that understanding oneself as a human being and personal growth is a lifelong journey with different chapters. In her sessions, clients can expect a safe, compassionate environment that encourages self-awareness and understanding.

Outside of her professional life, Laura actively engages in her own healing and personal growth practices. She finds solace in nature, enjoys reading and listening to podcasts, practices yoga, engages in somatic work, and values both time with loved ones and solitude. These personal experiences inform her holistic approach to therapy, allowing her to connect with clients on a deeper level.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating grief, or seeking to strengthen your relationship, Laura Garcia offers a supportive and professional therapeutic experience. Her practice, founded on creating a safe space with compassion and accountability, stands ready to assist you in your journey towards healing and personal growth.
