Getting to know Yesenia Cruz Mendoza
I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, dedicated to support individuals through life’s challenges with compassion and cultural sensitivity. I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.
With experience across a range of clinical settings including inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), community based in home services, and private practice. I bring a flexible and well-rounded perspective to the therapy process.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based practices, humanistic, and person-centered framework. I strive to meet clients where they are while honoring their personal and cultural experiences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to help you feel heard and understood. I take a collaborative strength-based approach to therapy, which means we will work together to explore your goals and identify individual strategies that work best for you. Therapy is a personal journey, and we will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Once you book an appointment with me, I will contact you by email, phone call, and text to make sure that we connect prior to our appointment and I will share a link for our video visit.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the beginning we focus on building our therapeutic relationship, helping us create a plan for our work together. Sessions will be guided by your needs and goals as we will explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviors as we introduce tools and/or strategies that may support you. As we proceed, we will reflect on your progress, as the goal is help you feel supported while building the skills and insights you need to create a healthier life.
