EMDR
Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

I’m Mary Mesiha, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. Since beginning my career in 1999, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds across a range of settings-which shaped my approach to therapy.
I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and issues related to adoption. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you make sense of what you are going through in a meaningful and manageable way.
