Samantha Mendez, LMFT

Samantha Mendez, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Samantha! My name is Samantha Mendez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Livermore, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I work with youth and parents, focusing primarily on anxiety, stress, and family building. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy, I help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy because both help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to create a path forward. My experience as a spouse and parent also informs my approach to clients. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for youth dealing with life transitions, family relationship issues, and social pressures. These challenges often present as anxiety, depression, and stress. I work to help my clients navigate these transitions and build skills that enable them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. I also work with parents to practice healthy communication and skill-building within the home. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to therapy I have always been interested in people and how individuals relate to one another. I used this curiosity to drive my career as a therapist. I believe everyone has the skills to better themselves and have always been drawn to helping others. I enjoy seeing individuals become better versions of themselves.
