Who I am
Dr. Metari Garza, LCSW
I understand that living “in the moment” is something most of us struggle with. We often are so preoccupied with futuristic events that we move through life anxiously waiting for the next thing to happen. What happens when we lose control of things as we know it? When we unexpectedly lose a loved one to death? When the pressures of life surround us? Do we panic? Become anxious? Fall into a depression? Are our plans now derailed?
Welcome to In The Moment Wellness Center where I am the Owner and Lead Clinical Therapist.
Although Mental Health is the principal component of our wellness center we have three expansion areas— Educational, Financial, and Physical Health where we seek to provide clients with a holistic approach to wellness. I specifically help clients learn how to tap into their inner strengths through my professional guidance and expertise. I believe everyone has the unique ability to move through life’s transitions with a little help. Let me help you navigate through life’s challenges and recapture your predestined path.
