Amanda Mendez

Amanda became a therapist because she believes everyone deserves a place where they can slow down, breathe, and feel genuinely heard. She holds a Master of Social Work and has experience working with children, young adults, and adults as they navigate big emotions, stress, and life transitions — meeting them exactly where they are with compassion, empathy, and zero judgment.

Her style is warm, encouraging, and collaborative. She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches depending on what each person needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), play-based and expressive techniques for children, and mindfulness and self-regulation strategies.

Amanda specializes in supporting individuals with ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, impulse control difficulties, and everyday stress. At the heart of her work is the belief that therapy should feel like a partnership — a place where someone can show up as their full self and know they'll be met with understanding.
