About Maryann

Maryann Garcia is a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate who graduated with honors with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from North Greenville University and a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.  

Maryann believes that presence has a healing power of its own which can be seen when people feel truly heard, respected, and valued. This belief is backed by research demonstrating that the client-therapist relationship is key to establishing a space where positive treatment outcomes can be achieved through evidence-based treatments that fit each person’s specific needs. She is committed to working with clients to engage them in planning the path forward, ensuring they are on the same page and working towards the same goals. In her work and educational training, she has come to adopt a counseling approach that is varied, but derived mainly from cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and solutions-focused theoretical approaches. Her hope is that clients will gain knowledge and tools throughout their journey that will facilitate continued growth and development even after therapy has ended.   

Maryann lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband and three children. In her spare time, Maryann enjoys activities outdoors, spending time with friends, and enjoying good food with those she loves.
