Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I'm bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Spanish (ofrezco terapia en español).


I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.
