Meet Our Therapists

Justina Garcia, LPC, LCDC, CSTIP, and Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, is a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping individuals heal from trauma and reconnect with themselves after loss. She provides affirming, compassionate care to children, adolescents, and adults experiencing trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and issues related to sexuality and intimacy. Justina is especially passionate about supporting those who have felt silenced, overwhelmed, or disconnected, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Justina integrates person-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic approaches that honor the mind-body connection. Her work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for each client’s story and strengths.

Justina’s clinical background includes both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, where she supported individuals facing complex mental health needs and crisis situations. Her early experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant shaped her understanding of communication, development, and the healing power of connection—insights that continue to inform her therapeutic work.

Known for her compassionate and collaborative style, Justina creates a safe and supportive space where clients feel seen, empowered, and equipped to move toward healing, resilience, and authenticity.

Her work is rooted in a compassionate, person-centered approach that honors each client’s unique story, strength, and capacity for growth. She integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional resilience.

Aissa works with adults, teens, and children facing anxiety, depression, identity struggles and significant life transitions including divorce, parenthood, and personal rediscovery. She is passionate about empowering women, especially those navigating burnout or major shifts in identity, and is deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ clients.

Aissa’s path into mental health began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Criminology from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. She went on to earn her Master of Arts in Community Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. 

Aissa spent 12 years working in a community corrections setting, providing therapy for justice-involved clients. Her clinical work focused on substance abuse recovery, conflict resolution, and overcoming barriers to change. That experience deeply informs her understanding of trauma, resilience, and the power of human connection in the therapeutic process. Now in private practice, Aissa brings the same depth of compassion and perspective to a broader range of clients. Whether you’re navigating emotional pain, a major life decision, or seeking to reconnect with yourself, Aissa offers an inclusive space where clients can move forward toward meaningful change.
