Robert Garza, LCSW

I am an experienced LCSW who is dedicated to helping adults cope with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and anger.

My name is Robert a highly experienced Therapist (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. I currently reside in Sacramento, enjoy playing horseshoe, and bowling in my spare time. I have worked across various Behavioral Health Programs. I received my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, substance abuse from Stanislaus State University and my master’s degree in social work from California State University Stanislaus. I also received specialized substance abuse addiction while completing my master’s degree. I was also instrumental in the leadership program bringing the Substance Abuse Program to Stanislaus State University. I have experience in the fields of mental health and substance abuse that span from services with unique populations: Hispanic families, adults, and children/adolescents in need. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Substance Abuse Counseling, Trauma Focused Therapy, and Crisis Intervention. Why I love working with teens: Adolescents love to genuinely connect with others. Some of funniest, deepest, and most meaningful conversations I have had were teenagers. I have spent most of my career working with teens in the Merced and Stanislaus Counties Adolescent and Children System of Care. I have helped clients navigate school stressors, heartbreak, conflict with friends, trauma, bereavement issues, identity development, and family difficulties.
