About me

Welcome! Thank you for considering working together with me to reach your goals.

I work with issues related to depression, anxiety, goals, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, boundaries, stress, anger, conflict, and philosophical/spiritual issues.
I see clients of all orientations and cultural/ethnic backrounds. I am respectful of all religious traditions as well as secular and philosophical traditions.
I work with individuals, couples, families and children/teens.

My aproach to therapy is:

Direct

Respectful

Non-judgmental

Solution-focused

Empowering

Positive

In the short term you should feel better going out than you did coming in.

Over the long term, you should feel more empowered, clearer, more self-supporting, more compassionate with yourself and more skilled with others.

I look forward to working together with you!

Sincerely,

Miriam Mendelson, LMHC, PhD

Dr Mendelson is a great therapist! I’ve had many over the years and she’s my favourite. She says things like they are and downs candy coat, which I like. She knows her stuff and has great insight on the plethora of issues we encounter in life.
