Hello!
My name is Erin Mendoza and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have been a licensed MFT since 2012, but I have been working in the mental health field for about 20 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and history of trauma. I have supported clients in strengthening and building coping skills, in learning who they are and how to live more authentically, and in building confidence and self-esteem. I have a special interest in working with Autistic and other neurodivergent people.
As I therapist, I believe in meeting clients where they are, acknowledging and drawing on existing strengths to help them work toward their goals. I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, to find what will work best for you. I welcome honest feedback from my clients; if an intervention isn't helpful for you, I want to know, so we can find something that is.
It takes strength and courage to seek support in making changes in your life. I look forward to joining with you and helping you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
