My name is Samantha Mendez and I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Livermore, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with youth and parents focusing primarily on anxiety, stress, and family building, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for youth who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions, family relationship issues, and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, and stress.
I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. I also work with parents to help practice healthy communication and skill-building within the home.
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy as both approaches help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to build a path forward.

My approach is collaborative and flexible, depending on what each client needs. I help clients build a shared understanding of their world and bring in strategies from family systems and parenting work when needed. I meet clients where they are, help them reflect, and gently challenge them toward meaningful progress.
