Johanna Lopez Mendez

I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Many times, life transitions and unresolved trauma can make us feel like there is no way out. Moreover, having no space to explore what worries us or causes us to feel pain can affect our social interactions, parenting style, and family relationships, and the relationship we have with ourselves. It gets overwhelming. But it does not have to be like that. I trust that everyone knows what is best for them. As your therapist, I can provide a supportive nonjudgmental space for you to explore and resolve stress or issues related to past trauma that causes distress. My approach in therapy is strength based. In addition to that, I incorporate my knowledge about trauma and attachment to explore patterns that can lead to lasting change. I am also EMDR trained. I use this modality to support individuals (kids, adolescents, and adults) to resolve past trauma or to gain confidence and compassion for oneself. Through counseling, one can grow, resolve, and heal from current stress or past trauma. I strongly believe we are resilient and capable of healing despite the hardships of the past. However, for that to happen, one needs a space to reflect and to understand oneself. As a therapist, I can help to create that space so that you become your best self.
