SoulStirred: Stories of Growth And The Human Experience

Emily Garcia is a mental health therapist and group practice owner at Tribe Mind Body Wellness. Emily and her team provide individual therapy, group counseling, workshops, and wellness retreats. Their mission is to ignite authentic connections to help people change their lives. Emily’s path to becoming a therapist came about because she experienced some significant traumas as a child and was able to work through many of the related feelings through therapy. Later on, when Emily ended a marriage and became a single mom, she wanted to heal and discover how to live authentically and in alignment. After 17 years of working in the public sector and community mental health, Emily decided to take the leap into creating a business that felt purposeful for the team she worked with and the people they served.

For a lot of my life I had been unable to see how the traumatic parts of my story were interfering with my life. Hurt people, hurt people. My therapist helped me to understand that this is not who I am and that it was how I was behaving- for the sake of my own survival. He validated my hurts and held space for me as I learned to feel my way through. I began to practice a whole new way of being. I practiced new ways of being. I noticed where I needed to build stronger boundaries. I learned “not allowing you to harm me, helps you to heal.” I consider myself a Spiritual ‘Hypsy’ Warrior Woman. I know for sure that we are all Divinely connected. It is the Law of One. I see humanity hurting and I hold the medicine we seek. I invite you to walk with me on the path toward authentic human connection. In addition to being a therapist, I am a Professionally Certified Relationship Coach and Brené Brown Certified Dare to Lead Facilitator.
