Getting to know Renee Mendoza

*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans* Challenges I support clients through include life changes, stress management, developing coping skills, and substance use disorders. Strategies I use to help solve a client’s problems are positive affirmations, positive self-talk, changing behavioral patterns through therapeutic techniques, and empathetically listening to clients. Therapy can make a huge impact in someone’s life by explaining their current mental health and ways in which they can manage symptoms and changes associated with their mental health. The space I hold for my clients is one of openness and honesty, with adherence to HIPAA, exceptions to confidentiality, and understanding that I am a mandated reporter. Confidentiality is very important, which is why what is said in session stays between myself and a client unless an exception is addressed, such as harm to yourself or others, or suspected child, elderly, or pet abuse. I am open to a client being as comfortable as possible, which is why I encourage incorporating things a client has stated prior to an intake session that they would like me to implement during a session. I am fluent in English and Spanish, which means I am open to providing services in both languages. Someone should take the next step into therapy because psychotherapy has expanded to fit your needs and time. With Telehealth services, you are now able to receive support at the touch of a button and in the comfort of your own space. An encouraging note I would share with someone on the fence about starting therapy is that therapy is what you make of it, and it will be here when you’re ready. There’s no pressure to start now - but when you are, we’ll be here for you. :) Renee Mendoza has a Master’s in Counseling from Montclair State University. Renee is a Licensed Associate Counselor, LAC 37AC00812300 at Resilience Lab. Supervised by Patricia Wallace, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 44SC05346300.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Welcome! Seeking out therapy can be a daunting and/or an exciting experience. It can also be one of the best decisions you have made! I help my clients discover and strength part of their lives that they can use as valuable tools so they can live the lives they feel they deserve. If you are looking for an expert listener who offers guidance at the pace you are comfortable with, you have come to the right place! Allow me to help you discover and provide tools that can aid you in discovering the life you would like to live.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I do not have ideal clients due to my experience being with a broad range of populations, cultures, religions, and backgrounds. I am open to providing services for all clients.
