Amanda Mendez

Psy.D., HSP

If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or teen, and you're looking for someone who can help make sense of it all. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, parenting challenges, big life transitions, or simply feeling off and unsure why, I’m here to walk with you.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in therapy and psychological assessment for children, teens, young adults, and older adults. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. My approach is always personalized, compassionate, and grounded in real life. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are and leave feeling more supported, more equipped, and more understood.

Clients often come to me for help with challenges related to ADHD, autism, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, self-esteem, relationship struggles, or trying to shed the quiet weight of perfectionism. I also offer parenting support and coaching for families feeling lost in the day-to-day stress of raising bright and challenging kids.

I grew up in Northern California and now share life with my best friend and husband. I love being outside in nature, weightlifting, driving fast cars, and eating a daily dose of Costco popcorn. My top priorities are faith first, family second, and career third.

If you’re ready to take the next step, or even if you're just exploring, I’d be honored to meet you right where you are.
