I’m so glad you’re here.Taking this first step is brave, so let’s get into it.

Joani Mendolia, MFT-C

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view the world and problems as an interrelated experience that have far reaching effects from the presenting problem itself. I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. I utilize a systemic lens to attend to your concerns within my work.

What do you do?

When working with me as your therapist, you can expect that you will connect more to your own experience and form solidified positions throughout your life. Entering the therapeutic relationship is a powerful experience where we will work as a team to address your entire mental health, including your thoughts, behaviors, and emotional processing.

My directive approach allows therapy to feel tangible, as I provide therapeutic structure to navigate your concerns and relationships inside and outside of the session. Throughout the use of evidence based modalities, such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strategic Family Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy, I can help you learn new skills on day one, so that you may feel empowered to take back control of your life and begin to enjoy the relationships that fill it.

  • What are your goals? What kind of relationship would you like to have? What gives you most meaning in your life?

  • Learn new skills in your communication. Practice new ways of connecting. Attend to your behaviors, thoughts and emotions while taking back control.

  • Be encouraged and curious to build a sustainable and healthy life.
