Marina Garcia, Professional Counselor Associate

I believe to fully understand the impact and origins of mental health concerns we must recognize that you are a complex person with multiple intersectional identities. Instead of isolating and treating symptoms of mental illness, I notice the social, political and economic context in which you live. This allows space to acknowledge how oppressive systems may be impacting your wellbeing with the intent to remove personal shame for a systemic flaw.

I aim to see my clients fully, which includes acknowledging all of their cultural characteristics. My ultimate goal is to support my clients in reducing shame, discomfort or guilt as they lean into their own self. I support my clients in moving through life transitions and identity development. As those negative feelings reduce, I strive to guide you into feeling empowered, assertive and ready to learn alternative ways of coping.

In my practice I will work alongside you to collaborate and create goals that will help you feel better. As each individual has a personalized treatment plan, I use an eclectic approach in which I pull from multiple evidence-based practices to best fit your needs.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychological Science with an emphasis on Clinical Psychology from Pacific University.

Note: I am a Registered Associate and practice under supervision. As a Registered Associate with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, I hold a provisional license and receive regular supervision. While working toward full licensure, I am supervised by Jessica Daas, LMFT
