Therapists in Eaton Rapids, MI
Eaton Rapids, Michigan residents often refer to their city as the “Island City” because the city’s business district is situated on an island in the middle of the river and it has bridges on the north, south, east, and west ends of the island. Eaton Rapids also has three-foot bridges for easy access to the downtown area. Troubled waters creep up on all of us at one time or another and it can be difficult to sort things out.
You certainly don’t have to isolate yourself on a solitary island while you’re trying to figure out how to get to a place of mental stability, health, and wellness. All you need to do is to match up with an Eaton Rapids area licensed mental health counselor who can help put you on sound footing.

Hello! My name is Nichole Garcia and I am a licensed masters social worker, LMSW. I have been working in the field for about 13 years and started out working with children and teens at a residential shelter in 2012. I also have experience working with adults with bipolar disorder, anger issues, trauma and abuse, personality disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, PTSD, the LGBTQ population, relationship issues, and many more. I have worked with those adults since 2017 at a community mental health agency (CMH). While working at a CMH, I have gained knowledge in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) where I have had the privilege to attend multiple trainings in DBT and prolonged exposure. I also have been able to attend trainings for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), eating disorders, and substance use disorders. I graduated at Wayne State University in 2012 with my Bachelors in Social Work and then in 2013 I enrolled in a 10 month accelerated masters program where I was able to obtain my Masters in Social Work. While attending college, I completed multiple internships working at homeless shelters, residential facilities, and the psychiatric ward. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I am an open person and believe transparency is very important in a relationship. So as long as we can be honest with eachother, it will be a great therapeutic relationship. I am very passionate about my work. I love learning about my clients and ways we can work together to help you. I look forward to working with you and will make it an empathetic, genuine experience. Talk to you soon! Best regards, Nichole Garcia, LMSW
