About My Clients

I’m Dr. Jack Mendoza, a clinical psychologist who works with men and teen boys (ages 13–65) navigating major life transitions—whether it’s a career shift, the end of a relationship, questions around identity, or simply a lingering sense that something isn’t right. I also have experience as a neuropsychologist, helping people better understand ADHD, focus challenges, and executive functioning issues. If you’re ready to talk—or just want to see what support could look like—send me a message.

My Background and Approach

Dr. Jack Mendoza is a psychological associate at Soul in Mind and a graduate of the Clinical Psychology program at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Throughout his career in psychology, he has focused his attention on midlife transition; notably with men who have ignored, repressed, or rejected trauma consciously and are now suffering silently in their masculinity. In addition, Dr. Mendoza has worked as an advocate and therapist for young adults and teenagers navigating the anxieties that accompany crucial developmental stages in one’s life. Finally, as the son of Salvadoran immigrants who experienced firsthand the integration of one culture into another, the loss of identity, and the everyday insecurities, doubts, and anxieties of migration expressed by the immigrant, Jack Mendoza is an advocate for the voluntary, involuntary, and exiled immigrant. It is through film, music, comedy, art, and literature that Dr. Mendoza attempts to understand the language and dynamic of Soul.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As the son of Salvadoran immigrants, I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work and am committed to serving underrepresented communities, including immigrants, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. While I welcome clients of all backgrounds, I have a particular focus on working with men, who often face unique challenges that go unspoken or unsupported in today’s cultural climate.
