About
Hi there! I'm Dr. Lindsay Elizondo ("El-ee-zon-doh"), a clinical psychologist based in Kansas City, MO, and licensed in both Missouri and California. For over 12 years, I have partnered with individuals on their path to better understanding themselves—with a focus on neurodivergent folks, women, and members of the LGBTQIA+ and other underserved communities. My ultimate goal is that every person who invites me into their process feels seen, heard, and understood. This is especially vital when working with neurodivergent people, who have so often been misunderstood, invalidated, and othered throughout their lives.
I am passionate about helping neurodivergent people see that what has often been framed as a flaw is actually a vital strength—the exact kind of difference that drives human progress and shows the true value of diversity. While this doesn't erase the very real struggles of navigating a neurotypical world without an accurate diagnosis or adequate support, coming together to rewrite that narrative is the heart of my work.
One of the most powerful ways we can start rewriting your story is through psychological assessment, which I view as a uniquely clarifying—and potentially very therapeutic—part of the self-understanding journey. Together, we will work through the assessment process to build the most accurate picture possible of who you are and how you experience the world. From there, we can explore your core questions: Why am I the way I am, what does that mean for me, and where do I go from here? As part of our next steps, we will collaborate on finding useful resources, affirming spaces, and ways to advocate for your needs—so that life starts to feel less like an uphill battle and more like a path you know how to navigate.
