About me
I am an experienced adult therapist dedicated to helping adults improve their mental health.
Hello, I'm Elsa Mendez, a bilingual Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in DC and the DMV region. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environment where you can heal and grow. My therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities, including CBT, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness.
My work focuses on implementing boundaries, managing stress and anxiety, improving time management, maintaining stability, and identifying support systems. I also assist college students in navigating the transitions of college life and the shift into adulthood after graduation. Additionally, I have experience working with first and second generations as well as eldest daughter syndrome.
