Getting to know María Bernal Mendoza

Hi there, I'm Mar?a! Maria Bernal, LMFT 148321. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from National University. My approach to therapy is holistic and nurturing. I utilize CBT, Solution Focus, and a humanistic approach to work on areas such as self-esteem, autonomy, and strengthening your relationship with your inner self. My approach Humanistic, Holistic, CBT, Solution Focus, and Systematic. My focus I work with individuals who are ready to invest in their mental health and are willing to do the work. I focus on self-esteem issues, relationship problems, negative self-talk, and community interaction. My communication style My style is direct and nurturing. I understand that the choices we make are influenced by how others have spoken to us. I believe that having both assertive and nurturing interactions with others is key to empowering someone to focus on themselves without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I believe humans are meant to experience safety, security, and compassion. I am a big believer that it takes one person to believe in you, allowing you to grow at your own pace and heal the parts that make you uncomfortable. As a therapist, I focus on helping you accept more of who you are and who you are meant to be. My goals for you I focus on the frequency and duration of symptoms. Monitoring symptomology is important to understand where you are and where you want to be. My first session with you I'll explain how therapy works and what to expect during our time together. You are encouraged to ask questions and clarify any doubts you may have. Autonomy is key in my practice.
