Mendi’s approach is holistic and Christ-centered.

As a client-centered clinician, Mendi utilizes various tools from a variety of evidence-based best-practice methods such as CBT, Mindfulness-Based (MBSR), Narrative, Gottman, and Attachment Therapy. Deeply rooted in Biblical principles and guided by the Holy Spirit, her aim is to create a harmonious balance between science-based therapeutic tools and spiritual wisdom through an inherently pragmatic approach.
