Welcome! Meet Amy Garcia, LPC Intern

Location: Muskegon 

Specialties: Working with Adults, CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Grief, and Sports Performance.

Ages: 11+ 

I’m passionate about supporting adults who are navigating life transitions, trauma, and adjustment-related challenges. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your values, my goal is to help you reconnect with what matters most and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

My clinical work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a compassionate, evidence-informed approach that promotes psychological flexibility and supports value-driven living. At the heart of my practice is a person-centered, collaborative alliance—I believe that therapy works best when you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your own healing process.

While ACT provides a strong foundation, I also draw from other therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs. I take a culturally responsive and developmentally informed approach, recognizing how identity, history, and context shape each individual’s experience. My work is guided by current research, ethical integrity, and a deep respect for your personal journey.

If you’re looking for a space to explore, grow, and feel supported, I invite you to reach out. I’m here to walk alongside you as you build resilience, navigate challenges, and create a life aligned with your values

This is my first time in therapy. What can I expect?

In therapy, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll work together to explore your feelings, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies for challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and more. I’ll tailor our approach using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to meet your unique needs, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace.

How do I get started with therapy?

The first step is to fill out the contact form with your information to the best of your ability. One of our intake specialists will then reach out to answer any questions you may have and schedule a brief phone consultation. During this call, we’ll ask you to share a little about yourself and discuss what you’d like to focus on in therapy!

How often would we meet?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy. In the beginning, we typically recommend meeting on a weekly basis. This gives us a chance to get to know one another, and as our work together develops, we encourage personal assessments so we can create a schedule that suits your specific needs.
