Sydelcis Mendez (Syd) is a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in crisis, trauma, anxiety, and stress management as it relates to individuals, couples, and families during life transitions. Raised in the Bronx by her Dominican family, she witnessed the gaps in resources and opportunities for individuals of different backgrounds. Syd became a therapist after seeing the mental health strains in her community and noting the underrepresentation of qualified providers who provided culturally-sensitive treatment and systems-oriented support. Throughout her career, she has served individuals grappling with substance use challenges, homelessness/transient issues, health concerns, developmental needs, sexual assault, domestic violence, addiction, military service/veteran affairs issues, as well as family or marital challenges.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health needs may be compromised, especially during times of stress. Syd offers therapeutic techniques that focus on addressing concerns, realigning values, and delineating actions to meet the desired goals.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

The approach includes resilience training, narrative frameworks, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques while focusing on practices of seven collective values shaping our world experience. Individuals can observe, reflect, and realign with their values regardless of the adversities present.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Syd uses a strength-based approach to promote intentional mental, emotional, physical and spiritual practices that support resilience and overall well-being. Those involved reflect on their values, disciplines, and barriers influencing their heightened stress responses. Collaboratively, there is the identification of patterns of thought and behaviors shaping unwanted results, increased self-awareness, and tools to manage arising issues and desired goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Individuals grappling with trauma, stress, anxiety, or life transitions.

I read the bio of several prospective therapists and kept coming back to Ms. Mendez's profile. She has proven to be a great choice for me. I especially appreciate her guidance towards improved understanding of my thoughts and passionate feelings about the environment that impacts my life.
