Therapist

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Lizandra Montero

Lizandra Montero

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I'm Lizandra, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and U.S. Air Force Veteran providing therapy to adolescents and adults throughout Florida in both English and Spanish.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life transitions, I'm here to help you navigate those experiences with compassion and practical tools for lasting change.

As both a therapist and veteran, I understand how life's experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and connect with others. I have a special interest in working with veterans, first responders, and individuals recovering from trauma, while also supporting women who are learning to heal, build confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), DBT-informed interventions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR training and am currently completing my consultation hours.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to have everything figured out before getting started. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered as we work together to create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and hope.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Finding the right postpartum therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum mental health concerns can include depression, anxiety, mood changes, difficulty bonding, or intrusive thoughts — and a provider who specializes in perinatal mental health care will be familiar with all of these. Look for a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT) or psychiatrist with experience in prenatal and postpartum care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they feel like the right match.

Practical factors matter too, especially when you're adjusting to life with a new baby. Consider whether you prefer virtual sessions you can attend from home or in-person appointments in the Fort Lauderdale or greater Broward County area. Availability and scheduling flexibility can make a real difference — look for providers who have open appointment times that fit your routine.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
