Lauri Mendes, MA
LMFT, LPCC
Hello, my name is Lauri Mendes, AMFT, APCC. I received my master’s degree in
counseling psychology with specializations in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) and Professional Clinical Counseling (PCC). I take a client centered approach to counseling incorporating CBT, Mindfulness, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused and Strength-Based Techniques. I believe therapy is like a voyage into self-reflection. It is an opportunity to look within and find the meaningful life you deserve.
Together we can fight what is thrown at us. There is no stigma in mental health, only the opportunity to blossom and grow. With a safe space, a hard-working and dedicated therapist, we will walk this journey together and change will come.
