Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Lutz, FL

I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.

I have been practicing for over 17 years providing Individual and family therapy. My focus is to facilitate strategies and interventions that will bring you hope and transformation.

I approach therapy with compassion, prioritizing the client's goals. My background is in medical social work, education, and psychotherapy. I specialize in trauma therapy, specifically, EMDR therapy. I also integrate faith for those who request that option.

I am extremely passionate about mental wellness to achieve the best possible quality of life. I often see the correlation of neglecting mental health and the negative effects on ones self care and relationships with others. I have a diverse background in psychiatric mental health to treat acute and chronic concerns with a specialty with womens mental health. As a duel certified FNP and PMHNP, I value the importance of overall mind and body well-being.

My work involves helping you to find what is missing and how we can work together to get what you need.

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.
