Priscila Mendoza

I am a Mexicana/Indigenous psychotherapist who approaches healing from a holistic framework that addresses the whole person- mind, body, heart and spirit. I understand the connection between body, mind and spirit and incorporate trauma informed body based modalities, indigenous knowledge, culturally centered, social justice and trauma focused framework to address historical, social and political inequalities impacting mental and emotional wellness. In addition I offer western evidence based techniques such as: EMDR, mindfulness based cognitive psychotherapy, TF-CBT and trauma informed care. I practice from a liberator anti-oppressive stance. I acknowledge the realities of systemic oppression and am aware of my own privileges and how they impact my work. I am actively engaged in decolonizing old paradigms and committed to the wellbeing and collective liberation of our mind, body and spirit. I work from a place of sacred purpose, integrity and truth. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge your strength and courage in seeking support. It's a significant step towards healing and growth, and I am honored to be considered as a partner in your journey. My philosophy as a therapist is grounded in the belief that every individual has the inherent capacity to overcome their challenges and to lead a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. My role is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work to uncover the patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back, and develop new, empowering strategies to navigate lifeÕs challenges. It is my commitment to you to be there every step of the way with empathy, understanding, and professional guidance. Embarking on this therapeutic journey is a testament to your resilience and desire for personal growth. Remember, growth is a process that involves exploration, understanding, and sometimes, facing difficult truths. It's important to be patient with yourself and to recognize the small victories along the way. As your therapist, I am here to support you in nurturing the growth that you seek. Together, we will explore new perspectives, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate the skills necessary for you to thrive. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. With each step forward, know that you are moving towards a brighter, more empowered version of yourself.
