Monica Mendoza, LPC

Monica Mendoza chose a career in psychology and counseling after a series of life challenges that guided her toward behavioral health. She has spent the past 21 years developing as a therapist, working with adults facing stress and anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, conflict resolution, and the adjustments that come with major life changes.

Her clinical background includes experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, where she has engaged in crisis assessment, intervention, and stabilization across a range of behavioral health conditions. Although seasoned by these experiences, she continues to value flexibility in thinking and perspective and remains committed to ongoing professional growth and learning.

Monica practices with an action-oriented style that challenges unhelpful thoughts while remaining grounded in humility, empathy, and human connection. She places importance on motivation and the influence of inspiration, aiming to form a purposeful alliance with each person she works with. Using an integrated and holistic approach, her goal is to help individuals find peace with what cannot be changed, summon the courage to change what they can, and gain the insight to distinguish between the two.

Monica holds the credential LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, reflecting her professional training and licensure. She describes being part of someone else’s healing or search for meaning as an extraordinary privilege and continues to approach her work as both practitioner and lifelong student.
