Andrea Mendez, MSW, LCSW

Clinical Social Work/Therapist

About

Welcome to my profile!  Therapy is something that can help you with a specific, pressing challenge, as well as gainging more insight into your wants and needs. I will provide a supportive, encouraging environment for you to explore and come to understand anything in your life that you find signficant or confusing. By getting a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior, we will work together to help you create the kind of life that you want.

 

 

I value the therapeutic relationship as one of our most valuable tools for healing and change. I provide a holistic approach to therapy as a result of my studies of both traditional and non traditional forms of healing. I believe that a "one size fits all" approach to solving problems and moving forward in life is usually not the answer and that being open minded to solutions to problems will help us provide a strong foundation to move towards the right direction.

 

 

 

 

I come from an acceptance and commitment therapy viewpoint which allows us to embrace who we are while simultaneously seeking change. Usually therapy sessions will utilize a wide variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, psychodynamic, and neurobiological.  I am also always seeking out additional techniques and skills to further my expertise.  I look forward to working with you!
