Thomas Mondragon

As a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in guiding individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and strength-based therapeutic principles to address emotional pain, relationship issues, and identity challenges. I hold active licenses in California (LMFT #42214) and New Mexico (CTB-2022-0327), and maintain a deep commitment to helping clients achieve greater self-awareness and personal fulfillment. My approach emphasizes creating a non-judgmental space for exploring cultural backgrounds, sexuality, and gender identity, particularly for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals. In addition to private practice, I serve as an adjunct professor at Antioch University Los Angeles, teaching LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy.

I focus on developing personalized tools to help clients navigate life transitions, build healthier relationships, and cultivate self-compassion. My therapeutic partnership model emphasizes safety, trust, and collaborative growth. I specialize in addressing relationship challenges, life stage transitions, and trauma-based experiences affecting daily functioning. My practice acknowledges the unique stressors faced by marginalized communities while providing affirming mental health support. With extensive personal and professional experience, I help clients transform emotional obstacles into opportunities for meaningful life changes.
