Getting to know Maritza Mendez

I became a therapist because I know how hard it can be to find support when you need it most. Too often, waitlists and limited access make it difficult for people to connect with someone who can help—especially when they’re experiencing crisis. I wanted to be part of the solution and create a space where people don’t have to face those struggles alone. My passion is supporting, encouraging, and motivating my clients. I do my best to be flexible and work around your schedule, because I believe therapy should fit into your life in a way that works for you. I value creating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space for all clients, no matter your background or what you’re going through. One of the approaches I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but more than anything, I bring authenticity, compassion, and empathy to each session. I know opening up to a therapist isn’t always easy, and it can be hard to feel that connection. My goal is to meet you wherever you are, provide genuine support, and help you feel supported along the way.
