“Cristina is so wonderful; she's kind and a great listener. Most of all, she has such a beautiful personality, and it feels like I'm talking to a friend in every session, yet she has great objective perspective and helps me overcome my challenges without bias or judgment.”

Getting to know Cristina Mendoza
My name is Cristina Mendoza, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Fresno, California. I am available to work with clients both in person and via telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from National University. I work with adults who are struggling with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, or adjustment issues, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
My approach
Therapy is a very personal process, so I strive to utilize approaches that best suit each individual client and their unique needs. I primarily use CBT, DBT, and EMDR therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to create goals and develop a plan to address the issues they want to work on.
My focus
I typically work with adults navigating challenges related to trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and life adjustments. I help clients build skills and confidence so they can not only address the issues they bring to sessions but also be better equipped to manage future challenges.
My communication style
I take a supportive and collaborative approach, giving my best to clients with the hope that they will do the same. I meet clients where they are in their wellness journey, gently guiding them through their struggles while encouraging growth toward the best version of themselves. I want my clients to feel safe and trust me as we walk together through their healing process.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always loved helping others and was often the person friends turned to for insight and support. Coupled with my passion for psychology, becoming a therapist was a natural choice. I truly enjoy this work and love witnessing the growth in my clients.
