Erica Mendoza

Does life have you down and questioning your worth? My practice offers a safe space to explore your challenges, gain insights, and develop practical skills for lasting change. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey to greater well-being and fulfillment. My journey to becoming a therapist was influenced by a personal understanding of the importance of mental health support. This experience, coupled with my clinical training, fueled my dedication to creating a safe and supportive space for others.

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you recognize and transform unhelpful thought patterns. This practical approach equips you with tools to take charge of your emotions and behaviors. Depending on your needs, we may incorporate mindfulness, meditation, or other helpful techniques. My mission is to provide effective, individualized therapy that equips you with practical tools and insights to alleviate symptoms, build coping skills, and achieve your personal goals for a more balanced and satisfying life.

We'll begin by discussing confidentiality and policies to foster a safe environment. Then, I'll invite you to share what led you to seek therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll listen attentively and may ask clarifying questions to better understand your experiences and goals. I believe treatment goals are most effective when developed collaboratively. We'll work together to identify what you want to achieve in therapy, ensuring your goals are meaningful and aligned with your values. I'll assist you in breaking these goals into smaller, manageable steps.
