Vanessa Santana-Garcia, AMFT

Associate Marriage and family therapist

Hello, it is my honor and priviledge to work with children, individuals and families on their journey to develop themselves fully, develop secure relationships and overcome life challenges. I hope to assist you in building the inner strength needed to reach your full developmental potential.

My approach to treatment is relational with an emphasis on being person-centered and utilizing attachment theory to facilitate the therapeutic process. I have a particular interest in strengthening the parent-child bond, and assisting individuals, children and families to live with vitality and mastery.

I received my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Asuza Pacific University and completed my advanced training with the Building Forever Families Initiative where I cultivated my skills in strengthening parent-child relationships and utilized community engagement to fully support the family unit.

In my free time, I enjoy a good coffee shop, spending time with family, traveling and baking.
