Cindy Pearson Garcia, MA, NBCC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Colorado and Texas
Hello
I'm Cindy, a dedicated Licensed professional counselor committed to providing a warm, compassionate, and confidential environment in every counseling session. Specializing in tackling anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and personal growth, I also emphasize wellness strategies including diet, exercise, and sleep. My holistic approach, coupled with a steadfast commitment to your ongoing personal growth, ensures a nurturing and transformative experience for all my clients.
The Therapeutic Experience
I strive to provide my clients with warmth, openness, compassion, and confidentiality. The counseling session is your time to explore and discuss anything relevant to you which may include working through past challenges still lingering in your consciousness; stress that has compounded to anxiety, depression, and/or panic; relationship issues blocking joy; fears creating inability to be productive or make choices in your life, to name a few.
​
Counseling might also be a time to explore and develop greater wellness strategies with focus on diet, exercise, sleep, etc. My commitment is to support you with positive, kind, and honest regard. I encourage gratitude and self-compassion as means to overcome obstacles you may be facing on the inside and/or outside. I utilize reflection, intuition, education/training, and desire to assist you with working through what you want to transform.
​
I also work closely with my husband, an Austin based house call physician (The Doctor Is At Your Door), offering in-home services to elderly and/or disabled, homebound patients. My services can support clients and/or caregivers with life transitions, grief/loss, coping with pain and medical issues, greater awareness for health and/or lifestyle adjustment needs, and end of life/hospice care.
​
Working as a therapist is a dream come true for me. When I am not engaged with my clients, I enjoy spending time with family ~ including my new granddaughter. Gardening and cultivating habitat for birds and bees is a favorite daily activity plus spending time with my pups and kitty. I also enjoy cooking, walks in nature, soaking at hot springs, and reading. I am regularly pursuing further knowledge pertinent to psychology and wellness as well as a deep commitment to my own inner growth and transformation.
