LPC-S and Owner

Michelle Jacinto

The therapeutic relationship I build with individuals, is my priority. I will work closely with you to create a plan that addresses your personal concerns, needs and goals while supporting you throughout your journey. My goal is to help you restore the feelings of wholeness and well-being in a safe and nurturing environment, while also forging resilience and tenacity.

My passion is working with those who are struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder, high functioning ASD, adult ADHD coping skills, codependency (CPTSD and other toxic environments) and individuals navigating through existential crisis and loss of autonomy.

I have been in private practice since 2014. My strength is in individual therapy for clientele between the ages of 13 to 99+. I use a myriad of treatment approaches tailored to fit the individual's needs. In addition, I am currently participating in many Employee Assistance Programs, using Solution Focused Therapy.

Elizabeth Jarvis - Garcia

Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate

Practicing under Michelle Jacinto MA, LPC-S

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just plain exhausted by it all?
Maybe you’ve had a tough day—or a tough season—and you’re not even sure what you need anymore. You just know something’s got to give. You’re not alone.

Elizabeth works with individuals who are exhausted from trying to keep it all together. Whether it’s the daily grind, burnout, or the constant feeling of not being “enough,” her approach to therapy creates space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention.

Using a solution-focused approach, Elizabeth helps clients identify what’s working, what’s not, and where those meaningful “aha” moments can happen.
Therapy doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. It can be messy, honest, and still lead to real, lasting change.
Everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered.

If this feels like the right fit, reach out for a consultation.
