Biography
Alyssa Garcia, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor who brings a compassionate, direct, and culturally-informed approach to therapy.

Alyssa has provided individual and group therapy for adults in diverse settings—including prisons and outpatient centers—using evidence-based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness-based therapy, and cognitive processing therapy. Her work is grounded in helping clients shift harmful behavioral patterns and build healthier perspectives rooted in self-awareness and resilience.
