Chat with me

Hello, my name is Priscila Garcia. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I attended the University of Southern California, where I earned my MSW. I am a first generation Mexican American. I feel that as a first generation Mexican American, you have that added pressure of trying to figure out what culture you identify with. At times it can also feel like parents might not be able to completely understand because their struggles are completely different. Nonetheless it is these challenges that give me strength to pursue a higher education and be able to help others.
