Samantha Garcia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

LPCC | Therapist
Pronouns: She\/Her<\/p>\n

Samantha Garcia brings heart and deep cultural insight to her work as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of New Mexico. A proud graduate of the University of New Mexico, she holds both a bachelor\u2019s degree in Family Studies and a master\u2019s degree in Clinical Mental Health. Samantha has worked with individuals from all walks of life, offering therapeutic support across racial and cultural backgrounds. Her commitment to culturally attuned care is not only professional \u2014 it\u2019s personal.<\/p>\n

As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, Samantha understands how essential access, language, and representation are to healing. Specializing in trauma, she has provided both individual and group therapy in high-acuity settings, including domestic violence and substance use clinics, psychiatric outpatient services, and emergency response teams. Her clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, CPT, ACT, Mindfulness Relapse Prevention, and Mindfulness Self-Compassion, tailored to support those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and related mental health<\/a> concerns. Beyond therapy sessions, Samantha is driven by a broader mission: to bridge the gap between personal and systemic wellness.<\/p>\n

She believes in the power of addressing personal and systemic health disparities through skill building and by bringing awareness of the profound and transforming impact that individual and collective healing have on the self, family, community, and overall global health. When she\u2019s not supporting clients or building awareness around mental health<\/a> equity, you\u2019ll likely find Samantha reading, making music, or enjoying time with her loved ones.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much of what we call abnormality in this culture is actually normal responses to an abnormal culture. The abnormality does not reside in the pathology of individuals, but in the very culture that drives people into suffering and dysfunction.\u201d<\/p>\n
