Hi, I’m Misty Mendoza, LPC-Associate, CSC, supervised by Dr. Megan Smith, PhD, LPC-S. Before becoming a counselor, I spent 14 years as an educator working with middle and high school students. Those years shaped so much of who I am as a counselor. I saw firsthand how anxiety, stress, ADHD, family concerns, academic pressure, and simply trying to figure out who you are can affect every part of a young person’s life. I also understand the unique emotional demands placed on educators—the people who spend so much of their time caring for everyone else. My approach to counseling is warm, genuine, collaborative, and individualized. I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, and educators, creating a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, stress, a life transition, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop tools that actually fit your life. At Blooming Reflections, counseling isn’t about becoming someone different—it’s about giving yourself the space and support to grow into the life you want to create. A brighter tomorrow blooms here.
