“Working with Dr. Mendoza during our child’s transition into adulthood has been an incredible blessing for our family. Navigating disability-related decisions, especially around guardianship, felt overwhelming at first, but she provided guidance that was not only clinically sound but also deeply compassionate and respectful of our child’s individuality.
She took the time to help us understand the process clearly, supported us in making informed decisions, and ensured we felt confident every step of the way. What stood out most was her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care—she truly sees the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Thanks to her support, we feel more prepared, empowered, and at peace with this major life transition. We are extremely grateful and would highly recommend Dr. Mendoza to any family going through similar experiences.”

Getting to know Dr. Lisandra Mendoza
I am a bilingual licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to supporting women across Florida through evidence-based therapy and comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological evaluations. My work integrates health psychology, neurodivergent-affirming care, and a holistic mind–body–spirit approach grounded in the belief that emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual well-being are deeply interconnected. I help women navigate ADHD, anxiety, burnout, chronic medical conditions, identity transitions, trauma, and the broader complexities of modern life by considering the brain, body, and whole person in every aspect of care.
I am especially passionate about helping women understand how their emotional experiences, physical health, daily habits, and brain function interact to influence overall wellness. I provide a culturally responsive and compassionate space where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore their strengths, clarify their needs, and move toward a more grounded and authentic version of themselves.
My approach blends scientific rigor with genuine human connection. Whether we are exploring patterns in therapy, clarifying diagnoses through evaluation, or developing personalized strategies for daily functioning, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and strengthen your connection to your mind, body, and spirit. I believe that when women are deeply understood and equipped with practical, evidence-based tools, they can create meaningful and sustainable change. My work is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in the belief that well-being is not only attainable — it is transformative.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you will experience a therapeutic relationship built on warmth, clarity, and mutual respect. I value transparency and open communication, and from the first session, I invite you to share not only your concerns but also your hopes, questions, and expectations. I take time to understand the full context of your life — your cultural background, health history, family dynamics, values, and identity — because these are essential to providing care that truly fits who you are.
You can expect a blend of structure and flexibility. I provide guidance and evidence-based strategies, but I also slow down, listen deeply, and adjust the pace according to your comfort and needs. I welcome your feedback and view our work as an active partnership. Whether you’re seeking clarity through evaluation, working through emotional challenges, or building new skills, you will be supported with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a steady belief in your capacity to heal and grow.
My goal is for you to feel safe, understood, and genuinely accompanied — not judged or rushed. I want you to walk away from sessions with both insight and practical tools, feeling more connected to yourself and more confident in navigating the challenges you face.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach begins with truly getting to know you. In both evaluation and therapy, I take time to understand your experiences, strengths, and concerns without assumptions — because you are the expert on your life. When we complete an assessment, the goal is not just diagnosis but personal clarity. I help you understand how your mind works so you can make informed decisions, recognize patterns, and feel empowered. The results also guide meaningful next steps and can support collaboration with other professionals involved in your care, ensuring you receive comprehensive and integrated support.
In therapy, I spend the first few sessions learning your story, your pace, and what you hope to change. I use a warm, patient-centered, and collaborative style where we select strategies together based on what fits you — not a one-size-fits-all model. My role is to partner with you, offer tools, and support your growth, while honoring your lived experience and goals. Together, we work toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful, sustainable change in your daily life.

Dr. Mendoza provided an exceptionally thorough and insightful psychological evaluation. She created a professional, supportive environment and explained the results in a clear and meaningful way. The report was detailed, accurate, and highly practical, helping me better understand both my strengths and challenges.
Her coaching for executive dysfunction has also been incredibly helpful. She offers structured, realistic strategies that are easy to apply in daily life, and I’ve seen real improvement in my organization and follow-through.
I highly recommend Dr. Mendoza for high-quality evaluations and effective, personalized support.
