Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Maria M. Mendoza-Rodriguez, a bilingual licensed clinical psychologist licensed in Arizona and Puerto Rico. I am passionate about creating a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where children, adolescents, adults, and families feel genuinely heard and understood. My clinical background includes psychological assessment, autism and neurodevelopmental evaluations, trauma-informed care, and psychotherapy. I believe every person brings a unique combination of experiences, strengths, culture, and perspectives to the therapeutic process, and my goal is to provide individualized care that helps each person better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and move toward greater well-being.

Hi there - happy you're here! I'm Ang. I'm fortunate enough to be licensed in the place I was born and bred: New York. Change is hard - plain and simple - and I believe it can only happen in a space where you feel comfortable to show up as your authentic self, safe in the knowledge that I will meet you where you are and hold space for your growth. Seeking support is an enormous step towards realizing the life you want, and I commend your first step in your commitment to growth. My goal is to help you better understand who you are and bridge the gap between that person and the person you'd like to be. I do this by helping you recognize strengths and areas where you excel and by identifying areas for consideration and continued growth. I believe in tailoring my approach to best serve the person before me and am committed to working with you to establish a warm, strong, and mutually collaborative alliance.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the struggles in your life? Are there relationship problems, difficult life changes, or challenges that have left you wondering which way to turn? Perhaps it's time to address the emotional hurts in your life, so you can become the person you were meant to be.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 40 years, and have worked with many people with a wide range of issues and challenges. You are a complicated person who has already tried hard to resolve problems, so offering some easy advice wouldn't be helpful or respectful. I'd like to be a partner in the journey to reach your goals.

I am an LCSW from the University of Utah, and have worked in many areas: domestic violence, substance abuse, youth, LGBTQ+, older adults, depression, anxiety, autism, etc. I am very passionate, first and foremost, about helping people improve their lives. I'm also here to listen; you'd be surprised what big a difference just that can make. I love having as much variety as possible, implementing meditations, gratitude journaling, DBT skills, art, etc. At the same time, I was taught in my training to always let the client be the expert of their own life, and that has helped me increase in my respect and skills to converse with, understand, and work with others to help build something truly greatthat we can all be happy with and proud of. My favorite modalities include CBT, solution-focused therapy, DBT, motivational interviewing, etc., and my style is very conversational and friendly. Indeed, I try to foster a very warm and welcoming environment in therapy. I am also quite goal-oriented, focusing on weekly, monthly, yearly, and beyond goals. My hope is always that a client leaves a session simply feeling better than before they came into the session.
