Hello, My name is Elsa Mendez and I am a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in DC. I have worked with different populations in the DC and Maryland areas. I received my bachelor's in psychology from Towson University and my master's in Social Work from Catholic University of America. I have worked and interned at different nonprofits in DC such as Neighbor's Consejo, Latin American Youth Center and St. Ann's Center For Children, Youth, and Families.
I specialized in anxiety and trauma but also use task centered model therapy and solution focused therapy. I have CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) training and have experience treating depression and other mental illness. Another specialty I have is cultural competency and have worked with individuals from different countries outside of the US.
