Mendi West, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals to help them cope with the emotional struggles that come with life. I earned both my undergraduate degree in Psychology and my graduate degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I work with people who are going through life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, or recovering from illness or injury. My goal is to create a safe place for clients to work through thoughts and behaviors that are causing distress. Together, we can figure out what is causing emotional pain and how to move towards healing and strength. I also work with people as they learn to live with illness and injury. As the healing begins, a person can feel sad about changes in their lives and angry about what they have lost. Therapy provides a safe place to grieve while learning to hold on to hope.
