Meet Dr. Valencia Garcia:
BUILDING TRUST. CREATING CONNECTION. SUPPORTING CHANGE
Dr. Garcia is a board-certified psychiatrist with a practice rooted in integrative psychiatry and real connection. She is the founder of Valence Integrative Psychiatry, a telepsychiatry practice seeing adults located in Arizona. Dr. Garcia also holds a special certification in perinatal mental health, the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), reflecting advanced training in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Perinatal psychiatry is more than just a profession for Dr. Garcia. After experiencing her own life-threatening birth trauma with her second child, she gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the impact reproductive experiences can have on mental health, self-identity, and relationships. Her own healing journey included an integrative approach that continues to guide her work, weaving evidence-based clinical insight with profound respect for each patient’s story to develop an individualized path forward.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Garcia loves spending time with her family, traveling, trying new restaurants, and staying active. Being highly organized and goal-oriented, Dr. Garcia naturally loves the planning process of travel nearly as much as the travel itself. When looking for new restaurants to indulge in, any establishment with a proper chef’s tasting menu is sure to make the list. Dr. Garcia maintains a consistent exercise routine not only to offset the restaurant visits but to aid in maintaining good mental health practices.
