Getting to know Yvonne Mendoza

Hi there, I'm Yvonne! Hola! My name is Yvonne Mendoza, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I currently offer bilingual (Spanish) therapy services to clients in California via Telehealth. I enjoy working with teens and young adults navigating life challenges such as anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, and emotional wounds. I am honored to support you in your quest to improve your overall well-being. My approach My work consists of an integrative approach tailored to each client's specific needs. I've seen great benefits in combining a Trauma-Informed Approach with Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help overcome unresolved trauma and emotional wounds. I also strongly believe in the connection between mental and physical health, so I incorporate a holistic approach that includes healthy eating habits, physical activity, sleep hygiene, faith/spirituality, and improving social connections-elements I consider essential in my practice. My focus I've found that my style of therapy works well with teens and young adults who are discovering their identity through life changes, as well as those ready to overcome traumatic experiences. Many of my clients face anxiety, depression, PTSD, and challenges with boundary setting. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to break patterns of intergenerational trauma and find their inner strength. My communication style My communication style is relaxed, inviting, and humorous. I believe a strong therapeutic connection positively influences client outcomes. Therefore, I present myself authentically, hoping to foster a genuine rapport that supports healing and growth.
