I am Katia Mendez, a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Asbury Theological Seminary. My interest in counseling grew through my involvement in church ministry, where I mentored adolescents and supported them through emotional and relationship challenges. I provide therapy in English and Spanish for teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship or family concerns. My approach is warm and collaborative. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy to help you understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical coping skills, and communicate more clearly. I am also a certified PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator and offer premarital counseling. As a New York native raised by Peruvian parents, I value the role that culture, family, and faith can play in your life. If you would like to include your Christian faith in therapy, I welcome that conversation. Together, we’ll focus on the changes that matter most to you and work toward them at a pace that feels comfortable.
