Manuela Maria Menendez, Psy.D.

Dr. Menendez is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 13 years of experience who treats individuals, couples and families.

Psychotherapy can help you feel better. Psychotherapeutic treatment can alter or change your thoughts and feelings concerning difficulties in your life. This can lead to significant change in the way you handle or manage your problems; thus increasing satisfaction within yourself and significant others. This process begins by exploring your problems with an open and collaborative attitude in an environment where your thoughts and feelings can be safely explored.   Typically, therapeutic issues addressed include depression, anxiety, identity issues, life satisfaction, life transitions, self esteem, grief and loss, career troubles, trauma and abuse.

Psychotherapy can reduce your symptoms and increase your capacity to deal with future hardships and struggles in life. For psychotherapy to be effective, there must be a "good fit" between the therapist and the client. I encourage all prospective patients to openly and freely bring up any concerns about their treatment.
