Getting to know Alisha Mendoza
I approach mental health care with a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental tone, rooted in the belief that healing happens when patients feel truly safe, seen, and heard. With over 20 years of medical experience, my journey has been defined by a deep commitment to advocacy and passion for helping individuals reclaim their lives.
My approach is collaborative rather than directive; I prioritize following my patients' lead to ensure treatment aligns with their unique goals. By blending evidence-informed guidance with a safety-focused perspective, I work to empower my patients through every step of their recovery.
I was drawn to psychiatry after witnessing a lack of resources for women navigating reproductive, perinatal, and postpartum challenges. Originally a midwife student, I shifted my focus to mental health to better support those struggling with trauma, substance use, and maternal health. Today, I am dedicated to helping patients of all ages, sexes, and backgrounds through a holistic combination of pharmacological intervention and therapy.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in geriatric psychiatry, perinatal mental health, and surgical oncology care. I specialize in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, and I feel a deep kinship with neurodivergent individuals, older adults, and survivors of trauma. I am also currently working toward my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) to further support growing families.
Outside of the clinic, my life is a beautiful "chaos" shared with my husband, two children, two English Bulldogs, and a very senior cat. You can often find me outdoors enjoying the Colorado landscape, at the theater, or tucked away with a good book. I’m a fan of 80s and 90s music, a bit of a history buff, and I’m currently challenging myself with new dance classes.
Driven by a mantra of empathy and healing, I am honored to be a part of my patients' journeys as they find their way back to balance and hope.
What should a new client know about working with you?
A quick note on insurance: I know navigating insurance plans and copays can be confusing, so I want to be upfront about coverage before you book. I’m in-network with most health insurance plans, but I want to make sure there are no surprises when it comes to billing.
At this time, I’m not in-network with Medicaid plans, including AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) and Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) — even if they’re combined with another type of insurance. Due to state regulations, I’m unable to see patients with Medicaid coverage.
If your insurance card lists your plan as a Community Plan, it is a Medicaid-sponsored health plan and is not accepted at our practice.
I truly wish I could treat everyone, but unfortunately, some types of coverage prevent me from providing care. If this applies to you, I completely understand how frustrating that may be and encourage you to check with your plan for in-network providers who can meet your needs.

Alisha is one of the most passionate and trustworthy providers I've ever worked with. She is extremely smart, thoughtful, kind, careful, and open. Alisha makes every single one of her patients feel seen, heard, and deeply cared for. She approaches every case with curiosity and dedication. She is also an amazing team member-someone you are lucky to work beside. She brings strength, resilience, honesty, empathy, and laughter to work with her every day. I truly can't speak better of Alisha, and that's coming from someone with a high standard for patient care and human values. You won't regret choosing her to be your mental health provider.
