Q&A with Dr. Mendel

What experience do you have working with families?

I have worked with families in outpatient and school-based settings on a wide range of concerns including difficulties with emotion and behavioral regulation, inattention, anxiety, and low mood. I work collaboratively with families to develop an individualized treatment plan that will work for them which might include individual therapy, parent training, and/or school consultation.

What inspired you to become a therapist?

I’ve known that I wanted to be a child psychologist since middle school! I had my sights set on this career because I naturally found myself supporting others, and I knew working with kids to help bring out the best in them would bring me joy.

What are your strengths?

I provide care grounded in science and tailored to each family’s unique circumstance. As a therapist, and as a person, I always aim to be thoughtful, thorough, curious and dependable.

What else would you like families to know about you?

As a mom of two, I know how challenging and fulfilling parenting can be!
