Elizabeth Garcia-Rea, PhD
Dr. Garcia is a licensed clinical psychologist with a comprehensive background in the field. She obtained her BA in Psychology and Criminology from Miami University, followed by a Master's degree in Adult Clinical Psychology from Southern Illinois University. She earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Texas and completed her internship and postdoctoral training at the Dallas VA.
With over 19 years of experience, she has worked extensively with veterans and the general population, addressing various mental health concerns. She specializes in anxiety and mood disorders, providing support to both adolescents and adults. She has received training in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Her therapeutic style can be described as eclectic, as she actively collaborates with patients to tailor treatment approaches that align with their unique symptoms and personal history. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy watching movies, camping, and spending quality time with my husband and two quickly growing children.
