Hello and welcome to the BetterHelp community!
My name is Andrea and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have extensive counseling experience in several different settings of Inpatient, Outpatient, IOP, crisis units, and PSR. I have provided therapy for a wide range of concerns, including co-occurring disorders, addictions, life transitions, trauma, and mental illness. My experience with these diverse settings has allowed me a deeper understanding of the human condition and our resilience during moments of challenge and pain. Our need to deconstruct limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns through deep introspection of our inner world, leads to alignment with our highest potential waiting to be uncovered. We come into alignment when we take the drastic measures of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and honest with our past, current blockages and future goals. Although this work may be difficult, it will be the most beneficial and life transforming decision you make. I believe that all individuals seeking treatment deserve a specialized approach and modality should be catered depending on the individuals willingness to dive inwards.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, person centered, and strength based. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My years of counseling have also led to studying holistic and alternative modalities of healing such as yoga, mindfulness, shamanic energetic healing, sound healing and essential oils as supplements to a healthy lifestyle as you merge mind, body and spirit.
Difficult and painful times are part of the human condition and are not to be feared, as our strength is marked in our humanities evolution.
I understand that seeking help during these unfamiliar times is a vulnerable step to take. Exploring one's growth during times of transition is based on a trusting and emotionally supportive relationship. I am here to support you during these times and look forward to meeting you.
Thank you for your interest and congratulations in taking the first steps in reaching your personal goals!

Andrea is amazing. Point blank. She challenges me in the way that I need to look at my own actions and reflect on how I can be a better person. For myself and for others. I can’t recommend Andrea enough. Best therapist I’ve ever had! And I’ve had a lot.

I've only worked with Andrea for a few months but she has helped me shift my perspective and understand my own struggles better and I am proud of the growth I was able to achieve. She's open-minded and empathetic, sincere and insightful. I would recommend her, especially if you are more of a spiritual person who is looking for finding your inner peace.

She gives me a different perspective on things. I have a lot of negative talk in my head about myself. Andrea turns it around and asks me questions that makes me realize I’m not what I think. It feels good to finally see what others see.

Andrea is very easy to talk too. She listens well, and always gives great feedback. I’m enjoying this opportunity to have her as my Counselor thus far!

First off, Andrea Garcia is easy to talk to. Her main strength, however, is her great insight into what you're going through and ability to relay both a wide and close view of the dialogue of your personal account to give you perspective and real world advice respectively. I highly recommend her as a counselor.

Great listener and communicator
Written on Jun 01, 2021 after therapy with Andrea for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, sleeping disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd
I’m liking the whole format of Better Help. The messaging makes me feel like therapy is a bit more on my schedule and I like getting to see available appointments rather than discussing a possible good time. Andrea has been a great listener and provided good practical tips for dealing with my anxiety and to help me find some possible root causes. I still feel like I’m just at the beginning and a little resistant to putting in the effort, but I understand the importance of this work.

Andrea is a calming ray of sunshine! Shes very understanding and encouraging and helps you sort through your feelings so they dont feel so overwhelming.
