Suzzette Garcia, LPCC
DIRECTOR, The Meadows Outpatient Center-silicon valley
Growing up in a small agricultural community in California’s Central Valley, Suzzette Garcia saw the impact that poverty, multi-generational trauma, and systemic injustice can have on a person’s mental health. Wanting to be part of the solution, she earned a master’s in clinical counseling and is completing a doctoral degree in organizational development, both from Alliant International University. A licensed professional clinical counselor certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy, Garcia joined the Meadows family in 2019 as a therapist before being promoted to clinical director of our Sunnyvale-based outpatient program in 2023, then taking the helm in April 2024.
Earlier in her career, Garcia worked in community mental health overseeing outpatient programs. During the pandemic, she co-founded a fellowship program for pipelining LGBT and BIPOC undergraduate students into the field of mental health. She also partnered with the White House, US Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association to provide consultation on the impact to communities of color, LGBT+, and those with disabilities and vaccination barriers. Prior to her work in mental health, Garcia was the founder and CEO of Inferno Elite All Starz Association, a nonprofit that provided at-risk youth access to mentoring, athletic programs, tutoring services, and college application assistance.
As director of The Meadows Outpatient Center-Silicon Valley, Garcia provided clinical supervision, oversight, and training in compliance with policies, procedures, and documentation congruent with state and county requirements for clinicians and trainees. She is an American Psychological Association Fellow, a board member of California’s Association of Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors, and recipient of the Audre Lorde Voice and Vision Award for Outstanding Social Justice Advocacy. When not working, Garcia enjoys spending time outdoors, camping, hiking, learning ASL, golfing, traveling, gardening, training service dogs, and conducting research in the fields of social psychology and organizational development.

Our Partial Hospitalization program (PHP)
A partial hospitalization level of care is ideal for those who require stabilization and a safe space before transitioning to an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Average length of stay in our PHP spans four weeks, with an option to extend if deemed clinically appropriate. Program hours are increased at this level of care to allow for a focus on regulation in preparation to step down to our IOP. While programming is tailored to the individual’s needs, those in the partial hospitalization program routinely have 1-2 individual sessions each week, weekly psychiatry sessions, weekly family recovery virtual sessions, and neurofeedback sessions as needed.
PHP Level of Care Includes:
- 4-week length of stay (with option to extend)
- Programming 5 days per week, 5-6 hours per day
- Focus on stabilization, safety, and regulation
- Case management
- Preparation for IOP level of care
