Deyanira Garcia, LMFT

Deyanira Garcia, known to many as Dey, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT, license number CA LMFT 132462). An LMFT is a licensed mental health professional trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to address emotional and relational challenges. She provides therapy to adolescents and adults facing depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and trauma, drawing on a range of clinical approaches to help clients better understand their inner dialogue and personal values while processing difficult experiences.

Deyanira’s clinical background includes supporting young children ages 0-5 who display emotional and behavioral symptoms that could signal emerging mental health concerns, and working with children ages 5-18 who have experienced trauma through abuse, neglect, abandonment, or crime. In addition to child and adolescent work, she supports adults coping with PTSD, life stressors, grief, and challenges related to communication, forgiveness, isolation, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace strain.

Her therapeutic style centers on establishing a trusting relationship and using intentional questions to help clients make meaningful connections. She guides clients through processing unaddressed emotions, challenging unhelpful narratives, and developing practical coping skills to manage everyday stress and transitions. Sessions emphasize collaborative goal-setting and progress at the client’s pace, with an emphasis on empathy and a nonjudgmental atmosphere.

Deyanira entered the mental health field from an early desire to help others, and she finds the most rewarding moments in practice in witnessing client resilience and transformation. The first session with her focuses on creating comfort, hearing the client’s story, and clarifying the concerns they wish to address as the foundation for ongoing work together.
