We are excited to welcome our newest Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee Christina Garcia✨

Hello, my name is Christina Garcia,

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee at Ebony’s Safe Space. I strive to create a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual, recognizing that every person’s experiences and needs are different. And since therapy is a highly individualized process, I also believe each individual’s experiences, strengths, and goals should guide the work that we do together. I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy; while also utilizing mindfulness, psychoeducation, emotional regulation skills, coping strategies, and family collaboration when appropriate to support long-term growth and healing.

I am passionate about working with individuals and families from all walks of life and diverse cultural backgrounds. I value the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive space where clients can explore their identity, cultural experiences, family dynamics, personal challenges, and self-development without judgment. I truly believe every client brings their own story, resilience, and strengths into therapy, and I make it a priority to honor those experiences throughout the therapeutic process.

At Ebony’s Safe Space, my goal is to walk alongside clients with empathy, compassion, and respect as they work toward healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. I am committed to helping clients feel supported as they build confidence, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward becoming the best version of themselves.

We are excited to welcome our newest Community-Based Mental Health Therapist✨

Hell, my name is Ebonie Martinez,

I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with adults, children, families, and couples by providing an honest, supportive, and safe space to navigate life’s challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationships, communication, self-esteem, identity, and emotional well-being.

As a therapist, I believe my clients are not the problem — the problem is the problem. My approach is rooted in a Narrative Cognitive Behavioral perspective, meaning I encourage clients to share their stories while collaboratively identifying and challenging negative beliefs about themselves. Together, we work to separate the person from the problem, viewing the issue as something external rather than an identity they must carry.

While Narrative CBT is often my foundation, I also understand that every client is unique and may require different interventions to best support their individual needs. I remain flexible and intentional in my approach, meeting each person where they are while creating a therapeutic experience that feels authentic, collaborative, and meaningful.

I am deeply passionate about acknowledging the cultural differences, personal values, and lived experiences that shape each person’s worldview and sense of self. I believe therapy should feel human first, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, respected, empowered, and free from judgment.

My goal is to help clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others, increase emotional awareness, and develop the confidence and tools needed to navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

Ebonie is currently supervised by Ebony Wilson, LCSW120554.

This week Ebony Wilson had the privilege to facilitate a Self Care workshop and share space with a 9th and 10th grade girls group at Palmdale High School.

A recent systematic review of school-based academic stress interventions found that academic stress is a major concern during the high school years, particularly during exam periods and college preparation.

The review reported that approximately 20% of students in the final years of high school report very high levels of stress.

Thank you Ms. Childs for allowing me to drop some self care gems on the floor for your students. Praying they pick it up❤️

We are excited to welcome Antonisha Neal! Our newest Master of Social Work Intern✨

Hello, my name is Antonisha Neal,

I am currently a Master of Social Work student intern at Ebony’s Safe Space. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Sociology with an Emphasis in Social Work from Grand Canyon University and am continuing my graduate studies in the Master of Social Work program at GCU as well. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in social work practice and has strengthened my commitment to supporting individuals through real-life challenges with compassion, respect, and dignity.
​
Alongside my internship, I work as an Accredited Case Manager Social Worker, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate mental health challenges, substance use concerns, and everyday life stressors. A significant part of my role involves assisting clients in accessing essential resources, including housing support, food assistance, transportation, and other community-based services. Through this experience, I have learned the importance of consistency, patience, and being fully present while helping individuals work toward stability and improved well-being.
​
What I value most in this field is connection. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I strive to meet individuals where they are, recognize their strengths, and walk alongside them as they work toward their goals. I am grateful to be part of the small but meaningful steps that lead to lasting change in people’s lives.

At Ebony’s Safe Space, I provide support through a client-centered and strengths-based approach, helping to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences. In my role as a student intern, I assist with resource navigation, care coordination, and connecting individuals to appropriate community-based services that support their overall well-being and long-term stability.
Being part of Ebony’s Safe Space is deeply meaningful to me because it reflects my core values of empathy, dignity, and empowerment. I am excited for the opportunity to continue growing as a professional while contributing to a space dedicated to healing, support, and community care.

We are excited to welcome Eboni Williams! A Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee from UMASS GLOBAL✨

Hello, my name is Eboni Williams,

I am currently working as a Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Trainee with Ebony’s Safe Space and pursuing my second master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I earned my first master’s degree in psychology, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, relationships, and mental health.

In my work and training, I have engaged with individuals from various backgrounds who are navigating personal, relational, and emotional difficulties. I have gained experience helping clients identify their strengths, process life challenges, and access supportive services when needed. Working alongside other professionals has also allowed me to better understand the importance of a collaborative and well-rounded approach to care. These experiences have deepened my commitment to helping individuals and families feel supported, understood, and empowered throughout their healing process.

I focus on creating a space where clients can show up authentically and feel supported as they work through life’s challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I aim to help clients build greater self-awareness, improve communication, and develop tools that support lasting change. I approach each session with openness, respect, and a genuine desire to understand each client’s perspective.

As I continue developing as a clinician, I remain committed to learning, self-reflection, and providing thoughtful, culturally responsive care. I value the opportunity to support individuals, couples, and families as they move toward growth, healing, and stronger connections in their lives.
