More about Janine

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female

Great that you’re seeking support!

I’m Janine Mendes, Psychologist (M.Sc.) and Psychotherapist in training, with over 3 years of experience in clinical and counseling settings.

My professional background ranges from working with employees in corporate and crisis counseling to serving as a primary therapist in both a rehabilitation and a university clinic. I’ve been particularly shaped by schema therapy as well as by working with intense emotions, anxiety, depression, and recurring relationship patterns—while also accompanying a broad range of concerns such as neurodivergence, stress, resilience, panic, and challenging life events.

I strongly believe that you already carry many strengths and resources within yourself. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and I will support you with empathy, at your pace, and with your focus in mind.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
