Blanca Mendoza

Blanca focuses on children, adolescents, and families, supporting them in adjusting and coping with major life changes, addressing self-image and self-esteem, and working with significant others to improve personal relationships. She also treats anxiety, depression, grief and loss, suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Blanca core values instill cultural sensitivity by understanding her patients’ background, ethnicity, and belief system. She fosters a collaborative environment and provides practical and useful strategies to support her patients in exploring their goals. Blanca has experience working in non-profit community mental health with children, families, transitional aged youth, couples, and individual adults. One of her favorite Maya Angelou quotes describes my approach to therapy and life very well: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
