My name is Kaity Garcia and I've had the pleasure of working with Rivers Edge as a counselor since 2021. I know the thought of therapy can be new, scary, exciting, intimidating, relieving - whatever you might be feeling I am so glad you are here! My hope is that when you step into my office you feel safe, valued, and heard.
You may be in a season of life where you’re unsure how to navigate. Perhaps you find yourself exhausted from trying to keep everything together or maybe have a child who needs a place to process and heal. I’d love the opportunity to come alongside and support you through it.
My focus is on kiddos, teens, and families struggling with communication, as well as individuals needing assistance with grief, setting boundaries, trauma, and parenting. I incorporate many techniques into my therapy. One of my favorite things is getting kids and adults to understand what they feel and how to communicate that. Each person does this differently. One of the tools I use with younger kiddos is play therapy. This involves the use of toys, sand tray, books, imaginative play. Adults sometimes like to use some of my toys too!
I love to encourage a healthy work/life balance for my clients and practice this as well. When I'm not counseling you can find me walking my sweet pup Maverick, reading, sharing a good meal with friends and family, sipping on a cup of coffee, or watching Formula 1.
