Getting to know Fatima Mendoza
Hi, I'm Fatima Mendoza, an LPCC who also speaks Spanish. I focus on processing past experiences and building resilience to support personal growth. Let's see if we can work together.
My approach
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my therapeutic work. CBT helps us understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we'll identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more positive and realistic ones. This can help you manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges more effectively.
My focus
I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, grief, life transitions, or those who have recently immigrated and may be adjusting to a new culture and lifestyle. I also have experience supporting individuals who are court-mandated. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
My communication style
I strive to create a non-judgmental and safe environment where you feel comfortable expressing yourself openly. My aim is to help you feel validated and understood so we can work together to address your concerns and promote healing.
My journey to mental healthcare
My path to becoming a therapist began with a desire to be a community college counselor, inspired by the positive impact my own counselor had on my life during college. While pursuing my master’s degree, I discovered a deep passion for the mental health aspect of counseling and chose to specialize as an LPCC. What brings me the most joy is giving back to my community and serving individuals from cultures where mental health may carry stigma.
My goals for you
When we set goals together, I’ll guide you to create clear, specific, achievable, and collaborative objectives. This means we’ll develop a plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

I couldn’t be happier with the service Fatima provided. From the very beginning, she created a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where I felt comfortable being myself. She is compassionate, patient, and truly listens without making me feel rushed or dismissed.
