Karin Woo Garcia, LMFT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California with 27 years’ experience, I  am committed to addressing the mental, emotional, physical, and developmental needs of individuals of all ages and acuity levels. I specializes in addressing the needs of individuals with multiple co-occurring diagnoses and challenges. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at the University of California, Irvine, and my Master's Degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling at Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, California. 

 

Much of my mental health career was working in community mental health programs focusing on intensive services programs as a Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health contracted mental health provider. Several years ago I expanded my services to include Divorce Mediation services to focus on assisting individuals with addressing and negotiating child custody issues and visitation schedules to minimize the emotional impact of the divorce on the minor children. 

​

I further expanded my mental health services to include conducting pre-bariatric surgery assessments to help identify hidden mental health issues that could affect an individual's surgery outcome and overall well-being. I utilize a holistic approach and believe in the power of nutrition & integrative interventions in mental health treatment. 

 

I strongly believe the most complicated problems can be solved, and that together we can find ways to remove obstacles to ensure that everyone can live to their greatest potential and thrive.
