Brianda Garcia is a bilingual therapist based in Austin, TX, providing support to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Her clients often seek help with anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, generational trauma, and anger management. Brianda has a special passion for working with teens, young adults, and first-generation individuals. She also holds advanced training in addressing depression, OCD, PTSD, and trauma.
Brianda is trained in psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, and holistic approaches aimed at establishing strong trust between her and her clients. She assists in processing thoughts and emotions that make you feel shame and guilt. In session, Brianda focuses on grounding tools, breathing exercises, creative expression, journaling, gaming, mind mapping, and other necessary interventions. This approach supports clients feel seen, cared for, and relief.
Brianda's style is non-judgmental, direct, and caring. When clients first start therapy, the goal is to work to understand how your upbringing has affected your current thinking processes. Learning your triggers can help identify coping skills that need to be un/learned.
Brianda received her Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University. She has worked at LifeWorks, serving court-mandated clients in the Batters Intervention & Prevention Program. Outside of private practice, she enjoys learning about cars. The office is close to Barton Creek Mall and approx. 7 minutes from Zilker Park.
