My name is Richard Alan Mendoza and I am an LMFT. I work with clients that present a wide array of personal issues that include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, chronic stress, substance-use, PTSD, and grief. As a therapist who has been on the other side as a client, I know how difficult it can be to open up to a stranger. My hope is to cultivate a safe therapeutic space so as to allow the client(s) to breathe and sit in the present moment with themselves and in time, assist with discovering insights as well as solutions to pertinent issues.

I would describe my style as warm, thoughtful, collaborative, and genuine. I value humor, creativity, curiosity, and compassion in the therapy space, while also helping clients identify practical tools and next steps that feel realistic for their lives. My goal is for therapy to feel like a place where clients can be fully human — where they can reflect, feel supported, build insight, and begin to relate to themselves with more understanding and care. My background includes experience in school, outpatient, and pediatric healthcare settings, where I have supported clients and families navigating anxiety, stress, transitions, identity development, relationships, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. These experiences have shaped my belief that people are not defined by their challenges; they already carry strengths, wisdom, and resilience that therapy can help them access more fully.
