California State University Stanislaus of Social Work, Master's in Social Work License LCSW# 76744 23 Years of experience Hello! My name is Robert Garza, LCSW Bi-lingual. I have over 18 years of experience working with clients ranging from early childhood, adolescence, children/families, adults, and end-of-life care. I have always viewed my professional career to learn as much as possible and be able to impact the largest number of people in need of support, counseling, therapy, and a safe space. I have worked in educational settings, healthcare settings, and clinical settings. I was born in Corcoran and raised in Central California. I currently reside in Rocklin CA, and enjoy horseshoe pitching, long walks, the ocean, and family and friends. My historical area of focus ranges from challenges in school to overcoming childhood traumas, depression, anxiety, social isolation, and conflict within family units. These are common things that we all face as we grow and evolve into our adult selves.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My specialties include grief, anxiety, depression, anger management, men's issues, substance abuse addiction, and working with the Hispanic population.
I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their careers. Hispanic clients
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a person-centered approach but do hold the belief that one therapy approach does not fit all. Therefore, I typically bring into therapy different aspects of many modalities, including problem-solving therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, among others.

I found Robert to be insightful and direct. He assured me I was on the right path in my journey and encouraged me. I don't need safe spaces, I am more interested in moving forward and living a better life pleasing to my God. Thank you Robert.

I have a hard time starting with a new therapist after being with mine as long as I was. Robert was very kinda and welcoming. I felt comfortable speaking with him. I have positive thoughts about the next session.
