Teresa Petersen Mendoza, LMFT, MS - Expert

About Teresa Petersen Mendoza

I understand how it feels to be stuck. Stuck in an unhappy marriage, chronically single, or navigating the changes of a blended family. I've been there, that was my life. By combining life experience and education, I found happiness and success. I've made it my life's goal to help others do the same. 

Not all therapists and coaches are made the same. I engage clients quickly in the change process. I'm direct and my goal is to get you feeling better, making changes and moving forward - ASAP!  

Education and Licensure:

I have more than 20 years experience working with family and organizational systems. After earning a Bachelor’s in Family and Individual Development from Northern Illinois University, I obtained my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family, with a focus on parenting in families with chronic illness, through Purdue University.
