Dr. Lisandra Mendoza

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, and inadequate? Do you feel like you’re constantly battling to improve your health, but your body lets you down? Maybe you’re finding it hard to fit in a world that’s not well-suited for people with certain neurological differences. It’s possible you’re experiencing issues with distractibility, memory, sensory sensitivity, cognitive and emotional overload, anxiety, inadequacy, and self-doubt. Perhaps you’ve noticed these changes in yourself and are looking for answers. You don’t have to face your difficulties alone!

I offer online services in English and Spanish for women in Florida. I specialize in Health Psychology, Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy, Neuropsychological and Psychological Evaluations, and Therapy for Women. As a person-centered clinician, I aim to provide culturally sensitive and holistic experiences emphasizing personal growth and self-awareness.

I am passionate about empowering women through individual and group therapy, helping them thrive by exploring new perspectives, regulating emotions, improving lifestyles, processing trauma, and achieving mind-body-spirit balance. Neuropsychological and psychological evaluations provide clarity in diagnoses and guide the next steps toward a brighter future.
