Hello! I’m Rebekah Mendoza, a California Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW #128664) and Certified Wellness Coach (#C94FD78061), supervised by Dr. Angelique Hood, LCSW (CA LCS #16750).
I hold dual Master’s degrees in Psychology and Social Work from USC and have over 15 years of experience working with adolescents, military families, veterans, and children. I’m also deeply committed to compassionate care, with 5 years of specialized experience in hospice. I love spending time with kids and enjoy activities like farmers markets, hiking, and live music.
In my practice, I aim to build trust and empower clients to be experts in their own lives, working together to establish values, goals, and sustainable coping strategies. I’m experienced in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Brief Solution-Focused Therapy and specialized with special needs clients (I am a Registered Self Determination Regional Center Vendor)
