Welcome! I’m Summer Mendez, solo practitioner of Wild Bloom Wellness. I am a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. With a deep belief in the power of personal growth, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, identify patterns, and find practical solutions that align with your personal values.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) , combined with a holistic understanding of each individual’s unique journey. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking more balance in your life, I’m here to guide you through the process of healing and self-discovery.

I specialize in working with adults and teens, focusing on issues such as stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and self-esteem. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights you need to overcome obstacles and thrive in every aspect of your life.

When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and traveling. I enjoy watching sports and relaxing.

I am originally from Michigan and moved to North Carolina in 2022. My undergraduate degree is from Central Michigan University and my Graduate degree was obtained at Grand Valley State University. I have experience working in schools as a therapist, substance use and now private practice. I currently hold a license in North Carolina and Michigan.
