About
Mary Katherine Garcia, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 9 years of experience supporting people through the challenges that can make life feel heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming. She believes growth often comes from doing hard things and helps clients reconnect with a sense of strength and capability, even when self-doubt has been loud. Her work is rooted in the idea that each person is the expert on their own life, and therapy can be a place where that inner wisdom becomes clearer and easier to trust.
Mary Katherine often uses a parts work perspective to help clients better understand the different sides of themselves, including the parts that feel confident and resilient as well as the parts that feel stuck, protective, or burdened. By learning to recognize and relate to these inner experiences with more curiosity and compassion, clients can build deeper self-awareness and create meaningful change. Throughout the process, she aims to offer steady support while honoring each client’s story and making room to notice progress as it unfolds.
