Introduction

"My diverse roles as a husband, father, teacher, counselor, therapist intern, and pastor provide me with a wealth of experience to offer couples and individuals. Through my life choices, education, and personal experiences, I've gained invaluable insights. A successful marriage requires strategic planning and skills, which I've developed over time. My education has played a crucial role in shaping who I am today. I also differentiate my services by offering virtual consultations. My wife and I are guest speakers on topics such as conscious marriage, effective communication, and fostering a healthy marital relationship. Additionally, I provide premarital classes and life skills coaching to equip couples with essential tools for their journey together. I also provide services in Spanish to serve the Hispanic community. Hablo español para servir a mi comunidad hispana. I find great fulfillment in listening to my clients and guiding them toward solutions to their challenges. My high Emotional Intelligence scores enable me to listen empathetically and without judgment. Working collaboratively with my wife, especially during speaking engagements at churches or other events, enhances our effectiveness."

I started with DV counseling. My original perception of such court mandated classes was that it would be a waste of time, but it was quite the contrary. Jimmy explained the concepts in a manner that was relevant to myself and others in the class. I learned to see things differently and to be more open minded. I never sensed any condescending tone, and we received good info and tips that we could use immediately. After graduating, I wanted to do couples therapy. Unfortunately, my partner did not, so I did individual counseling. I learned a lot about myself and how to deal with codependency, forgiveness, trust, relationships, children, God, addiction. What i really appreciate of Jimmy is that he can he can get on your level, scientific research data, psychological, medical, religious, biblical, whatever. He helped me to understand and see what decisions I could take and why, how to prioritize my time, and sometimes homework that would be of great value. Things didn't work out with my ex wife, but my kids and I are thriving. I have full custody of them. I occasionally visit Jimmy for a "check up/ tune up" whenever time permits. I wish I would have gone to him sooner. We all need help. They are good and reliable. It's worth it.

Jimmy Garcia has been a wonderful guide for myself and my husband. We found ourselves at a difficult crossroad in our marriage regarding understanding and communication. He has gently brought things to our attention and given us practical tools to use. We feel that we are near the end of our journey with him, and he has helped us tremendously.
