Getting to know Melinda Garcia
I am a bilingual, licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Barry University and over 20 years of experience working with individuals, parents, children, and families through community organizations. I specialize in supporting women and children who are survivors of crime, domestic violence, and abuse. I have experience working in school settings, parenting education, and prevention programs. Christian-based counseling is available. Life is a journey to be taken one step and one day at a time, continuously building upon every experience to live the best, empowered life possible—and to have fun along the way. When you hit a bump or get stuck, I am here to help you get back on track to your best life yet.
