Meet Dr. Tamara Garcia

Dr. Tamara Garcia offers a holistic and culturally responsive approach to ADHD coaching for adults. Her path into this work began during her graduate research, where she discovered how frequently ADHD, particularly in adults and women, is misunderstood. Her professional perspective is also shaped by her own experience of being diagnosed with ADHD during her doctoral training.

Dr. Garcia earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology, with doctoral research focused on the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of mindfulness practices across ADHD presentations. She also holds a background in psychology and sociocultural anthropology from the University of California, Davis, which informs her understanding of how culture, identity, environment, relationships, and overall well-being shape each person’s experience of ADHD.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, Dr. Garcia works with the whole person. She creates individualized plans that combine mindfulness, self-awareness, and practical ADHD strategies to help clients improve focus, strengthen emotional regulation, practice greater self-compassion, and build lives that work with their unique minds.
