Your Authentic Self, Your Strongest Self: Therapy Tailored in a Safe, Supportive Space
Hello! I’m Dr. Andrew Mendonsa, a clinical psychologist and therapist with 20+ years of experience helping folks like you navigate life’s complexities and embrace their true potential and authentic self. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, those struggling with problematic sexual behavior, kink/alt lifestyle/polyamory-focused issues, and anyone seeking a male therapist’s perspective.
My journey through the worlds of mental health and addiction – from community mental health and marginalized groups, to the criminal justice system, to high wealth clients and corporate boardrooms – has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges clients, especially men and those from specialized populations, face today. I’ve helped countless individuals overcome shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and the unique pressures of modern life.
As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I offer a safe and judgment-free space to explore your identity, gender, relationships, sexual expression, and sexuality. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, or navigating the unique stressors of the LGBTQIA+, kink, alt-pop, or straight communities, I’m here to support you on your journey!
For those grappling with problematic sexual behavior that is causing issues with your work, relationships, finance, or other areas, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to recovery. I will not tell you to stop what you are doing or else, instead we will identify what is motivating your behavior and desire to change. Knowing these, we can then develop a tailored treatment plan and achievable goals. Together, we’ll address the underlying issues, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and rebuild a fulfilling life free from shame, guilt, and compulsive behaviors.
My extensive background working with high-achieving individuals in business and academia makes me uniquely equipped to understand the pressures of professional life. If you’re struggling with work-related stress, burnout, or career transitions, I can offer practical strategies for success and well-being. I have owned, sold, and managed companies and worked in high levels within the public sector.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and results-driven. I believe therapy should be a catalyst for change, not a lifelong commitment. Think of it like a tune-up for your mind – we’ll get you back on track and running smoothly. You wouldn’t leave your car in the shop forever, would you? So why force yourself into a lifetime of therapy?
I invite you to visit my website, www.AndrewMendonsa.com, to learn more about me and my approach. Let’s work together to build a life that is authentic, fulfilling, and true to you.
