Hello and Welcome. I am a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist who sees patients of all ages struggling with mood disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma, loss, ADHD, adjustment difficulties, attachment issues, family/social/professional stress and/or overall difficulty functioning. My aim is always to meet patients where they are and work jointly to get a thorough understanding of their symptoms, situation and all other contributing factors. I think of mental health as the cornerstone of overall health and therefore aim to work on resiliency and optimizing mental wellness as opposed to simply addressing illness.

Emotional pain can be invisible and debilitating, and hold us back from achieving happiness. Our experiences can color the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Taking a look at ourselves and discovering patterns can help us make different choices and find a path to happiness.

I am a psychiatrist who deeply believes in the importance of quality of life. Living with a healthy quality of life seems simple but is actually very challenging. Given the complex nature of romantic relationships, family/friend relationships, work stress, vocational aspirations, financial stress, life changes, and decision-making, just to name a few examples, difficult emotions seem natural. Such emotions can include anxiety, sadness, anger, regret, rage, loneliness, boredom, irritability, frustration, and disappointment. I am naturally an empathic person, and having studied, trained, and graduated from Harvard, Yale, and Cornell, I am a dedicated psychiatrist who desires to, and is trained to, help you.

When a child is struggling, it is vitally important to uncover the correct cause. The process or journey should enable a child to take part and gain mastery over the issue. Equally important is identifying all those that should assist with the child an important part of the journey. Christine Garcia considers herself a provider and advocate, but mainly a facilitator. Identifying and negotiating all the settings your child is a part of, getting them to align are essential for a child to grow and flourish. This can only be achieved through open communication and active participation of everyone in this process.

I hold a General Psychiatry degree from New York Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and a Child & Adolescent Psychiatry degree from New York University, where I am a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry.
It is a privilege to do what I do on a daily basis; working with the "body/mind connection". I love working with people and going through their life stages together; adolescents, college students, young adults and then adults. I believe that the modality of treatment should be suited to the patient's needs. I have trained through different schools and continue to do so. Once we work together on identifying their issues, we work on them with a "tailored treatment", that said; individual psychotherapy, mindfulness meditation, complementary treatment with vitamins, exercises and if needed medication.
