Hi! I'm Jenny and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to folks in California. I currently have a couple slots open in my calendar---Tuesdays at 430 PM, Thursdays at 430 PM, and Mondays at 11 AM. If one of those times works for you on an on-going basis, please book an intake on my calendar at anytime you see available (does not have to match the ongoing appointment time for the intake appointment). I'm queer, a parent, and a first-generation American. I had a long career in social service, social justice, and non-profit leadership and management work when I made the transition to social work and therapy. I spent years working with child abuse and trauma. I worked with many families going through very difficult life moments and traveled alongside their paths as they faced issues of physical abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, and substance use. Working with both children and adults, I've interfaced with every system out there---prisons, schools, hospitals, social services, and courts. I've intimately seen what these systems offer and the challenges they create. I hope that therapy is both effective and real---authentic and truly useful. I know that finding a therapist that feels right can be daunting and challenging. The relationship between the therapist and the person seeking therapy is of central importance. I hope to create a compassionate space for you that feels safe, warm, and supportive. This should be a space where you feel seen, heard, safe, and comfortable. I want to help you create a place where you feel the comfort and strength to explore what has been scariest or hardest for you and create the change you're searching for.

*Note that at this time, because there are very few openly autistic clients on the Grow platform, I am only working with clients who are autistic or are wondering if they are autistic. I work from a neuroaffirming perspective, and from the assumption that autism is a difference in neurotype and not something to "fix". I am an autistic, disabled, queer licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I live in rural Northern California but am available to work virtually with any client living in California. I discovered that am autistic (and that I have ADHD) as an adult. Viewing my life through that lens has had a big impact on how I see myself and the way I relate to the world. I have a special interest in working with autistic and ADHD clients, as well as with people who are exploring those identities. I also have a lot of experience helping people navigate life with the depression and/or anxiety that so often come with being autistic and/or having adhd. Sometimes having a therapist who can help you problem solve and think outside the box can make a big difference. You can learn more about me at me website: www.erinmendozatherapy.com

Thank you for considering me as your therapist in your journey to improving your mental health!  Seeking treatment can be an extremely daunting task, especially within a culture where mental health may not be openly discussed.  This leaves individuals struggling alone with distressing mental health symptoms including anxiety, stress, fear, insecurities, isolation, depression, racing thoughts, poor self-image and many others.  With a lack of support or a safe environment to openly share these experiences, it can be extremely difficult and overwhelming to understand how to manage these symptoms in a healthy way.  This can lead to maladaptive coping skills including substance use, overworking, self-harm, suicidal ideations, hypersexuality, and other risky behaviors.  Even maladaptive coping skills are part of the brain's effort to protect us from the discomfort that comes with mental health symptoms. My goal is to assist empower clients to take control and manage these symptoms independently.  I assist clients with gaining insight about their difficulties and how they experience mental health symptoms in their lives.  I provide clients with psychoeducation to achieve this insight and then work toward developing concrete coping skills in an effort to manage the symptoms.  We will work together to identify short term and long term goals that the client hoping to achieve in therapy and I will ensure that we stay on track toward achieving those goals.  Through accomplishing these goals, clients are able to increase their emotional intelligence and resilience as they manage day to day stressors. I am structured in my approach and committed to seeing progress for my clients as they take on the challenge of self-improvement.  My clinical orientation is in trauma work.  I assist clients with understanding their trauma in their life and how it impacts them today.  I emphasize the unique cultural backgrounds of my clients and all the different traits of their identity to assist them with understanding themselves in a more complete way. In person services available for clients near Santa maria, Ca.  Telehealth services are available for clients throughout the state.  Feel free to reach out directly via phone call or text to discuss scheduling details or to ask any other relevant questions!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
