Colleen Garcia, LPC
Hi, I’m Colleen. I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years across a variety of treatment settings, giving me extensive experience supporting individuals through many different challenges and life circumstances. I find joy in working with individuals in their 20s and 30s, focusing on the critical life transitions and changes they experience during this time. Some examples of these changes include graduating college, experiencing job or career burnout, struggling with relationships, or building a family (just to name a few).
I am here to help you discover what you need to heal and achieve your goals. We can process your past, present, or future—whatever you need in that moment. That’s what it’s all about: figuring out what you need and focusing on that. I have experience with many different techniques, which allows me to tailor therapy specifically to you. I primarily use a psychodynamic approach, helping clients uncover deeper patterns and gain insight into themselves and their relationships. Additionally, I utilize evidence-based skills from approaches you may have heard of, such as CBT and DBT, when appropriate. I have worked with individuals with nearly every mental health condition and specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, disordered eating, and women’s issues.
Here are some more things to know about me! I graduated with my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and am now a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Michigan. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago. Before studying psychology, I attended art school at the Pratt Institute for two years, where I discovered that an art career wasn’t the right fit for me. If you’re interested in exploring art or music in our work together, I’m here for you!
If you think I may be a good fit for you, I encourage you to reach out. I would love to meet you and see if I can help you reach your goals!
