Hi there! my name is Carla Mendiola and I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and compassionate space for individuals, couples, and families seeking therapy. My approaches each session with genuine empathy—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for your unique story. I earned my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, and specializes in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family-of-origin challenges. Using a systemic lens, I understands how our relationships, environments, and early experiences shape who we are—and how healing begins when we explore those deeper roots. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches to reduce distress and support you through life’s toughest transitions. For clients who appreciate structure, I offers clear, practical strategies to encourage growth between sessions. My goal is to help you create meaningful, lasting change while honoring your pace, your goals, and your lived experience.
