Welcome to Inner Healing
Hello everyone, my name is Lisandra Garcia.
I am a daughter of the Most High King, wife to an amazing husband, mother of three, Life Coach, and Minister of the Gospel.
I want to share a small part of my story with just enough background to help you understand why I am so deeply passionate about helping women and mothers heal trauma and emotional wounds through inner healing from a biblical perspective.
The first time I realized I had an interest in human behavior, I was around ten years old. I didn’t have the language for it then, but I knew something was different. I remember visiting my father at what I later learned was a rehabilitation facility. I didn’t fully understand why he was there, only that he was in deep emotional turmoil. Even as a child, I wondered: Why would someone turn to drugs? What kind of pain drives a person there?
As I grew older, I learned that my parents divorced when I was two because of substance abuse and infidelity. For most of my life, my father wasn’t present. There was always a longing for him to be. I carry memories of his homelessness and of seeing him under the influence of narcotics images a child shouldn’t have to make sense of.
While my mother did her best to be present, she too was navigating her own brokenness. She found herself in and out of unhealthy relationships, and as an only child, I often felt unseen and alone. I carried a quiet ache that followed me through my childhood. Looking back now, I can see how the enemy took advantage of that pain. What began as unmet emotional needs later showed up in my adulthood as perfectionism, codependency, and people-pleasing patterns that once felt like survival but eventually became burdens I didn’t know how to lay down.
I won’t go any deeper than that, but I share this much because it shaped me.
Throughout high school, I found myself drawn to psychology books. I would awkwardly observe friends and family, trying to form conclusions about why they behaved the way they did. Looking back, I can see where that landed me on the spectrum; an overthinker with very black-and-white thinking. I was constantly searching for understanding, patterns, and explanations.
In 2013, I graduated from UCF with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Years later, I went on to pursue my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling through a Christian Bible college. Around that same time, the Lord began ministering to my heart in a very personal way. He gently redirected me not toward licensure as I had planned, but toward homeschooling my children and stewarding my family in a new season.
That surrender is what eventually led me to Christ Like Mind Coaching, all glory to Jesus. What started as obedience became a calling. Today, I have the honor of walking women through the deep healing of emotional wounds that often go unaddressed for years.
My heart for mothers was especially softened once I became one myself.
Motherhood brought me face-to-face with parts of my heart I didn’t know were still wounded. I found myself in a dark place anxious, irritable, sad, resentful at times, disconnected, and bitter. I loved my children deeply, yet I struggled. Old memories resurfaced. Past trauma replayed in my mind. I realized that healing wasn’t optional, it was necessary.
What Is Inner Healing?
Inner healing is allowing Jesus to meet you in the places where pain, trauma, and lies have taken root in your heart. It’s the process of uncovering emotional wounds, inviting the Holy Spirit into them, and allowing truth to replace what hurt, neglect, or fear once spoke over you. Inner healing is not about reliving trauma it’s about redeeming it.
Why Do Mothers Need Inner Healing?
Because motherhood has a way of pressing on unhealed places.
Because our children don’t cause our wounds, but they often expose them.
Because unresolved pain can quietly shape how we respond, connect, discipline, and love.
When a mother heals, generations are impacted.
Scripture reminds us:
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
—Romans 12:2
Inner healing is part of that transformation. It’s where the Lord gently renews our minds, heals our hearts, and aligns our thoughts with His truth. As mothers, we need this renewal not just for ourselves, but for the legacy we are leaving behind.
You don’t have to live overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or disconnected. Healing is available, and it is biblical. Jesus came to bind up the brokenhearted and that includes mothers.
My approach to Inner Healing:
It is rooted in both clinical wisdom and biblical truth. With a background in counseling, I understand trauma, attachment, emotional regulation, and how wounds form across the lifespan. As a Minister of the Gospel, I also recognize that true healing goes beyond insight, it requires the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. In my work, I create a safe, compassionate space where psychological understanding and spiritual discernment meet. Together, we identify patterns, invite Jesus into wounded places, renew the mind through truth, and allow lasting freedom to take root not through striving, but through surrender.
My prayer is that as you read this, you know you are not alone. There is hope. There is healing. And there is a Savior who cares deeply about the state of your heart.
