Julisa Lendo, LMFT, LMFT — Therapist in Nevada

Hi there, I'm Julisa!

I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, supportive space for growth and healing. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself—empowered, self-aware, and equipped with tools you can continue to use long after our work together.

My focus

I work with individuals who are seeking to establish healthy boundaries in challenging family relationships, particularly with an unhealthy or intrusive mother. I support clients in identifying patterns that contribute to emotional distress and guide them in developing practical tools to set, communicate, and maintain healthy boundaries.

My approach

I believe we are deeply shaped by our early experiences and the foundation built by our parents and caregivers. In therapy, I focus on exploring those roots to better understand current patterns and heal the parts of ourselves that need adjustment.

My communication style

Each client is unique, & my communication style adapts to meet their individual needs. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. While I come prepared with a plan and therapeutic focus for each session, I allow the client to lead the direction of our work.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider began with a deep desire to make a difference in people's lives. I've always believed that helping even one person can create a ripple effect of healing—not only for that individual, but for their family and community as well.

My goals for you

During the second session, I focus on helping clients clarify their needs and identify what is attainable within therapy. Together, we collaboratively define specific, measurable, and realistic treatment goals that align with their values and desired outcomes. I emphasize the shared responsibility in the therapeutic process.

Our first session

The first session is primarily focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your background, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. This helps me get a clear picture of your needs and how I can best support you.
