Angela Mendez

Feeling like you always have to be the one who figures things out, keeps everything together, and carries it all so everyone around you can be okay is exhausting. And if it's gotten you to the point where finding balance and feeling like yourself is challenging, I may be a great fit for you. My work as a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience has centered on helping young adults and adults navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship and family stress, and major life transitions. I offer therapy in English y en Español and warmly welcome clients who want culture, family, and identity to have a place in the therapy room.

My style of therapy is warm, practical and collaborative. With me you'll find a great listener and also someone that will ask questions to help you look beneath the surface. I will support you in connecting the dots to build greater awareness and understanding of yourself, and teach you coping tools to use outside of therapy sessions. Depending on your concerns and needs, I will draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and motivational interviewing to help you reach your goals.

We'll start with what brought you to therapy and what has been feeling heavy and difficult to manage lately. I'll ask questions to understand specifics about what is going on in life currently and to help me understand how experiences from your past may be impacting the present. We'll also talk about different parts of life like your daily responsibilities, relationships, stressors, strengths and hopes for what you most want to be different moving forward.
