Swift solutions to life problems are
our priority. HAN is an acronym for
"here and now", a basic principle of
"mindfulness" supporting the work we
do. The power of the present moment
is extraordinary in stimulating
personal growth. We take an eclectic
approach to resolve issues of
trauma, addiction and attachment
difficulty. With compassion, we can
make changes in our lives that will
bring those we love closer and make
us more resilient families and
people. Mindfulness therapies
develop clarity, emotional
intelligence and eventually,
compassion for ourselves and others.
We learn about real intimacy and
welcome it back into our lives. A
mindfulness approach to holistic
emotional, spiritual, mental health.

approaches as well as solution
focused therapies. The range of my
practice include work with adults,
children, couples, and groups. My
style is to be very open, honest and

the journey that counts and not just
the destination. I work with clients
to find a way to make their journey
feel more satisfying. I offer home

of client comfort in their own
environment without having to worry
about transportation issues to

Weekdays and some evenings
I approach therapy as an opportunity
to work through life’s challenges,
and to grow and develop in the
process…not just solving problems,
but developing greater capacities
for living and relating. This
applies whether we are working
through crisis and loss, depression
and anxiety, or just navigating
difficult transitions and new stages
of life. I work with clients to
break free from self-limiting
patterns and old beliefs about
themselves and their possibilities –
to tap into their unique strengths
and improve their lives and
relationships. My style is
interactive and collaborative,
drawing upon a range of therapy
techniques. My training and
inspirations range from social work
and traditional supportive therapy
to addictions treatment,
hypnotherapy, EMDR and Imago
relationship therapy.

A native of Puerto Rico, Mary Jean
first came to the US in 1970 and
attended Barry University in Miami
where she received her Bachelors
Degree in Science with a
concentration in Social Work. After
working in the public school system
in her hometown of Fajardo, Puerto
Rico for 1 year, Mary Jean relocated
to New York City pursuing graduate
studies and receiving a Masters
Degree in Social Work from New York
University in 1977. Prior to coming
to Florida in 2003, Mary Jean
practiced in New York City for 26
years holding clinical, supervisory
and managerial positions. She is a
member of the National Association
of Social Workers and was very
active in advocacy work for the
mentally ill and the Hispanic/Latino
community while in NYC. She also
served on the Board of the
Association of Hispanic Mental
Health Professionals for several
years as an officer. Mary Jean
Garcia joined the group private
practice of Dr. Carmine Pecoraro and
Associates in the fall of 2006
bringing her cultural competence
expertise in treatment to the
Hispanic/Latino community. Some of
us grew up in a Latin American
country and later relocated to the
USA. Some of us may have grown up in
the USA and are of Latin American
ancestry. Either way it is complex
to reconcile different values,
habits, rituals, attitudes and
outlooks on life when we are
addressing mental health issues.
When pursuing an enhanced quality of
life through psychotherapy, a solid
understanding of our cultural
influences is extremely important.
Mary Jean Garcia has extensive
training and experience providing
culturally competent treatment to
the Latino community. Ms. Garcia is
also Adjunct Faculty in the Master
of Mental Health Counseling Program
of Springfield College School of

I work with individuals, couples,

people living with HIV and AIDS,
with substance abuse, with

anxiety, and with those people who
simply want to experience growth,
healing, or discovery in their
lives. As a body worker, I assist
people with relaxation, stress

As a licensed
psychotherapist/clinical social
worker, I help people to improve
their lives and to discover the
great possibilities within
themselves. I encourage my clients
to take effective steps to create a
more positive internal and external
experience, and to reshape any
limiting beliefs and perceptions,
thereby relieving distressing
symptoms. My clients say that the
work we do is very practical and
easy to apply to their lives. My
interactive style is open and
supportive. I utilize a cognitive
(thought-based), solution-focused,
and eclectic/personalized approach.
Some of the tools that I use are
life skills training,
problem-solving, trauma reduction,
guided imagery, EMDR, and hypnosis.

I am a licensed mental health
counselor who has been in private
practice for 15 years. I am also a
certified chemical dependency
counselor and certified sex
therapist. Most of my work has been
done in Chicago, but I am now a
Florida resident and continuing the
work that brings me a deep sense of
fulfillment. My clients are
diversified, which I love, and I
will work with anyone who commits to
the process of learning and growing.
My style is relaxed and personable.
I am interactive in therapy sessions
and believe that a therapeutic
alliance between therapist and
client is essential. My intention is
to create a safe place so that real
work can happen. An important piece
of my work is being trained and
certified as a life/relationship
coach. Often a client doesn't need
to go back into their pathology and
so we work together on what is
happening now, where they would like
to go, and how they intend to get to
their dreams/visions. I love how
passionate people become when they
see possibility. For me every day is
another day of possibility. I like
to keep it simple.
