Mr Matthew Mendoza

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Hello, I am a therapist who has years of experience working with children, teenagers, adults and couples. I offer in-person therapy services (on Tuesdays in my office in West Covina) and online Telehealth services. If you think that we would be a good match, feel free to reach out for a free consult.”

About Me

I bring years of experience to help children, teenagers, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges. I offer a welcoming space, whether you're seeking individual growth or to strengthen family bonds. You can choose in-person sessions on Tuesdays in West Covina or convenient online Telehealth. A free consult helps ensure my approach is a good match for your unique needs.

Approach

Together we set clear, manageable goals and pace sessions to fit your life, whether you meet weekly in West Covina or remotely via Telehealth. Sessions blend gentle curiosity with practical skills—mindful awareness, structured reflection and collaborative problem-solving—to uncover unhelpful patterns, process difficult experiences and build steady coping strategies. Between meetings I offer short practices to try and brief check-ins when useful so progress feels steady rather than rushed. This approach often helps people seeking concrete tools, emotional clarity and flexible access.
