Juan C. Mendoza, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Juan C.!

I work side by side with clients to find that Aha moment in their lives. I specialize in helping children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and behavioral challenges. I also support parents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, parents, and adults. My focus areas include parenting challenges, trauma, communication struggles, behavioral problems, and mood disorders.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, meeting you where you are. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-focused CBT, solution-focused therapy, Play therapy, and family systems. For parents, I use Triple P, an evidence-based Positive Parenting Program that builds confidence and skills.

My communication style

Successful therapy starts with safety and comfort. My first priority is creating a space where you feel at ease discussing core issues that may be holding you back. I work collaboratively with you until we resolve what brought you to therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

What drew me to this work was a desire to help people understand themselves. That drive continues every day—helping clients discover who they really are and reach their full potential.

My goals for you

After the assessment, we collaborate to write a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Our first session

Expect to meet a therapist genuinely interested in your journey. I'll get to know you, ask about your interests, and complete an assessment to understand what brings you here. Together, we'll start building the therapeutic relationship in a safe, nonjudgmental space.
