Amaris Garcia

Amaris Garcia

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.

At the core of my work is this belief:

You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.

If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a LCSW providing telehealth out of Southern California. Growing up in Long Beach, I'm accustom to a variety of populations and personally have experience working in Addiction Medicine, with Child Welfare Services, and as an ally for my LGBTQ+ clients. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation — not a clinical transaction. I show up as a genuine, engaged partner in your process, not a blank slate behind a notepad. I'm in your corner, and I want you to feel that from the first session. My style blends warmth with honesty (think supportive but direct). Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Manuel Leiva

Manuel Leiva

Therapist

Virtual • California


Making the decision to begin therapy can feel difficult, and I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your experiences openly.

I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Even when we know we want things to change, it can sometimes feel difficult to understand why we continue to experience the same thoughts, emotions, or relationship struggles. Therapy can help bring greater awareness and understanding while creating opportunities for meaningful change.

I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and meeting each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My role is to walk alongside you, help you gain insight into yourself, and support you in creating a healthier and more fulfilling life.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in supporting adults and teens who are struggling with overcoming stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and past trauma, by finding tools and solutions towards becoming the best version of themselves.

Together, we work toward healing that honors your identity, resilience, and truth.

I’m warm and real, but I’ll also call you out when I see you getting in your own way. I believe emotions carry important information, and the goal isn’t to get rid of them. It’s to learn how to sit with them and respond in a new way. My background includes community mental health, school settings, PHP, IOP, short-term residential, and long-term transitional care, which has shaped a direct and collaborative style that’s all about helping you do something differently.
