Dr. Garcia: I am a clinical psychologist and run my own private practice. I help people who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship issues. After spending 8 years serving in the military and another 7 years working as a firefighter and paramedic, I realized that there were a lot of men and women out there suffering mentally and emotionally but not talking to anyone about it. At 32, I left my firefighting career to go back to school and earn my doctorate degree. I then became a licensed psychologist and began working with veterans and first responders to help them heal from their trauma.
