Meet Danielle

Danielle Mendoza, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in child welfare, dedicated to helping families navigate trauma and develop crucial parenting skills. Her professional journey took a transformative turn after experiencing the challenges of postpartum life as a new mother, balancing a demanding career with the responsibilities of parenthood. That lived experience led her to specialize in perinatal mental health, providing mothers and birthing parents with the personalized support they truly need.

As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist (PMH-C), Danielle helps parents throughout Marin County work through postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional weight of early parenthood. Whether your baby is six weeks old or two years old, it's not too late to feel like yourself again.

Her holistic approach blends compassion, mindfulness techniques, and individualized care, creating a nurturing space for healing and growth. In your work together, you'll focus on:

  • Understanding what you're feeling and why it's happening

  • Practical tools for managing anxiety and overwhelm

  • Processing your birth experience, if needed

  • Rebuilding confidence in yourself as a parent
