Danielle Garica, LCSW is an independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of New Mexico. She graduated from one of the best Clinical Social Work graduate programs, in the country, at the University of Southern California, earning a Master of Social Work degree (MSW). Danielle is known for her warm, kind, sensitive, and gentle therapeutic style. She is a positively sought-out therapist, who receives excellent feedback from the clients she works with.
Danielle utilizes a client centered approach that has assisted her in working with adolescent and adult anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, life transition, difficulty adjusting, and grief and loss.
Danielle also practices trauma informed therapy, particularly EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Re-Processing is a highly effective trauma therapy, which Danielle has successfully practiced, since the start of her career. She provides high quality EMDR services to appropriate clients. Danielle also integrates a holistic approach with an emphasis on Mindfulness, strength-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Danielle believes that, as individuals, we not only operate individually, but also as part of our systems, including our family systems. Therefore, she integrates a Family System Perspective, and welcomes all appropriate members to join in the therapeutic process.
Danielle was born and raised in New Mexico and is committed to serving her community with a culturally informed and gentle approach. She has a desire to support her community members, including Veterans and military families.
Danielle has grown even more of an appreciation for the land of enchantment, after returning home, from spending a few years in California. She loved Califorina's beaches and weather, but finds such beauty and serenity, in New Mexico's landscape. Danielle loves to travel to new places, both within and outside the US, to experience new cultures, food, and terrians, but she also loves to return to her home in Rio Rancho, to the welcome wag of her two dogs, Oscar and Rascal. On her days off, Danielle enjoys spending time with her family, friends, fiancee, and two certified therapy dogs, whom you will get to meet, when you schedule and appointment wih her. Dainelle spends her summers camping in Jamez or going for hikes in the Sandia Mountains. You will also find her, during the winter months, taking every opportunity to visit Santa Fe, to enjoy the sport of snowboarding. Danielle has recently discovered rock climbing, and is looking forward to enjoying the sport, for many summers to come.
Danielle is positively sought out, in part, due to her warmth and sensitivity. She offers extended clinical appointment hours (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) on Mondays through Wednesdays, to best meet your scheduling needs (with telephone and contact hours also available on Thursdays). Danielle welcomes you to "embrace the journey" towards healthy healing
