As Audre Lord said, "Self-care is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation." Hello, I'm Mekdes! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working out of Fresno, CA. Deciding to seek counseling services is a huge step. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or parenting challenges, participating in therapy can give you the boost that you need to start living your best life again! As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to be allowed to walk alongside you on your journey of healing.During this process, I will provide support by creating a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to process and work through the issues that led you to seek counseling. I utilize a collaborative approach to meet individuals and families where they are and support them in working towards their treatment goals.I believe that you are not your diagnosis/symptoms and that it is essential to consider the whole person to facilitate lasting change. I look forward to talking with you about how I can support you on your journey to your best life.
