“The therapist was very kind and easy to talk to. I appreciated her questions to help make me feel more comfortable to open up.”
Dawn M.July 9, 2026Video visit
“Sandra was very kind and made me feel comfortable right away. I was new to the therapy process and didn't know what to expect. She slowly walked me through what sessions would look like moving forward and that eased my nerves. Over the duration of our time, I learned more about my patterned thinking and behaviors that I never would've picked up on myself. I never felt judged when I expressed intimate experiences that I struggled with. She asked questions in a way that made me feel safe and not pushed to answer. When I would get stuck or seem withdrawn she would ask if I wanted to revisit a certain topic at a later time. With the trauma I endured, this was key for me to open up when I felt ready. And for that reason, I would recommend her! ”

Getting to know Sandra Mendoza
Anxiety, Burnout & Trauma Therapist | Stress, Relationships, Life Transitions | Telehealth | Aetna, Cigna
Welcome—I’m Sandra, a therapist specializing in anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma.
I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. This includes supporting clients navigating major life changes, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related experiences, including survivors of domestic violence. My goal is to create a warm, grounded space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and able to exhale.
Now accepting new clients with flexible daytime and evening telehealth availability—appointments often available within the week.
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and practical. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself while building tools for real change. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based, psychodynamic, somatic, and trauma-informed techniques to support both insight and skill-building.
Together, we’ll work toward greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of clarity and direction.
All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth, making therapy accessible and convenient from anywhere in California.
I am in-network with Aetna and Evernorth (Cigna). I also offer private-pay options and HSA payments, and partner with Thrizer to help you access out-of-network reimbursement. We’re happy to check your benefits and walk you through your options.
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Zealous Therapy.

I had the privilege of working with Sandra Mendoza during one of the most difficult periods of my life, and I am incredibly grateful for the support she provided. From our very first session, Sandra created a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up and sharing my experiences.
She helped me recognize patterns of abuse that I had struggled to see on my own and offered validation at a time when I desperately needed it. Her insight, empathy, and gentle guidance helped me better understand what I had been through and gave me the confidence to move forward in my healing journey.
What stood out most was how genuinely caring and invested she was in helping her clients. I always felt heard, respected, and supported. Sandra made a lasting difference in my life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate therapist.
