“Although I’d had general therapy during my lifetime, recently we had an unexpected death in our family and I was truly devastated. I was referred to Dr. Mendoza as someone who specializes in grief and dealing with loss. I am so blessed to have been assisted by her. Her great experience and familiarity with end of life issues makes her eminently qualified. Thank you, Dr. Mendoza.” – A. G., former client
