Elsa Mendez
MSW, LICSW (she/her)
Hello, and welcome! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington, DC. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Towson University and a master’s degree in Social Work from the Catholic University of America.
​
My areas of expertise include supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I integrate therapeutic approaches such as task-centered model therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals.
​
Cultural competency is at the heart of my practice. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, including those from countries outside the U.S., and I am committed to fostering an environment of empathy, understanding, and respect.
My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can explore your experiences, heal, and grow. No matter where you're from or what you’re facing, this is a place where your voice matters and your mental health goals are within reach.
