Bloom Into You!
Charlotte’s leading mental health service provider
Summer Mendez, MSW, LCSW
Welcome! I’m Summer Mendez a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. With a deep belief in the power of personal growth, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, identify patterns, and find practical solutions that align with your personal values.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), combined with a holistic understanding of each individual’s unique journey. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking more balance in your life, I’m here to guide you through the process of healing and self-discovery.
I specialize in working with young adults, teens and children, focusing on issues such as stress, relationship difficulties, life adjustment at home and school, and self-esteem. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insight you need to overcome obstacles and bloom in every aspect of your life.
I invite you to take the first step toward healing—reach out today to schedule a session.
More About my Clinical Background
I believe clinical transparency is essential in building a strong therapeutic relationship- one grounded in psychological safety and mutual trust. My approach to therapy is eclectic, meaning I integrate a range of evidence-based modalities to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.
