Julia Mendoza, (she/her)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #164960
I work with adolescents and adults who are looking to understand themselves more. My approach is tailored to the vastly different and intersecting identities of my clients, working with cultural humility. My clients often bring in concerns such as: substance use, body image and disordered eating, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. I draw mainly from psychodynamic, relational, and feminist theories, using an integrated approach to fit the unique needs of each client.
Therapy with me will focus on examining the ways we have been molded by our families, relationships, communities, and cultures. We will discover and unpack the shame that holds us back, and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Understanding how we got here can help us to move forward with grace, compassion, and thoughtfulness. Therapy will be a place where nothing is taboo, nothing is shameful, and everything can be understood.
We can discuss all of this and more in a 15-minute consultation call. This call is an opportunity to learn more about each other and decide if therapy with me is a good fit.
