LPC, 14 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
My name is Tim Mendoza and I specialize in helping your child, adolescent and family cope with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, and behavior concerns. I have over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced various traumatic events, such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, community violence, domestic violence and divorce. I have also worked with victims of trafficking, violence, and undocumented immigrants. My recent practice has focused on improving parent-child relationships by using parent coaching sessions to decrease behavior problems and increase social skills and cooperation. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(TFCBT) and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Integrated Treatment for Complex Trauma (ITCT) in children and adolescents. I use a trauma-informed approach to empower you and your family. Sessions will focus on your unique needs and together we will select the evidence-based approach that best fits with your goals. My approach is collaborative, relational and respectful. I will work to provide you the support you and your family need to heal.
It is very important for a clinician to get an accurate picture of what is impacting a client. That is why it is important to gather as much information as I can during the first session in order to develop a treatment plan that is the most effective for the client. Subsequent sessions will focus on helping the client achieve their goals through evidence-based practices teaching new skills and processing targeted thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
My biggest strength is connecting with clients to provide a safe and judgment free environment. I have over 12 years of evidence-based practices in trauma therapy and I am a Within Agency Trainer for PCIT.

Tim provides us as a couple the ability to view eachothers perspectives in a neutral setting where Tim helps us understand eachothers view points. Tim always has an open ear to hear out our situation and help direct us in a plan to move forward. Tim has provided us the ability to learn how to communicate in a more effective manner as a couple.
