MindHER
"Hi, I'm Dr. Lawanda — a licensed psychologist (PsyD) and founder of Mental Fitness Group. I created the MindHERMethod, a coaching platform, to help high-achieving Black women, like myself, release the need to always be the strong one — what I call 'the cape.' Most of us inherited stereotypes of strength that were either passed down or placed on us without permission — what research psychologist Dr. Cheryl Woods-Giscombé calls the Superwoman Schema. This coaching platform is a focused, action-oriented space to help you take action to release the cape, redefine your strength, and restore HER, unapologetically.
Now it's time to redefine what strength looks like for each of us, and find balance and restoration in our busy lives. The HERo in all of us deserves to thrive.

Step 2
Book your MindHER Method Coaching
only $150
A focused 30-minute coaching session built around the MindHER Method. This method gives insight into where you may be depleted or strained, while also pointing to areas where you're resilient or thriving — across the four pillars: emotional, physical, financial, and social. That insight helps you release, redefine, and restore the HERo in you.
If you've already taken the MindHER Assessment, we'll discuss what your specific results mean with the MIndHER Method as a coaching tool. If not, that's okay too — the Assessment is helpful for gaining insight into what to explore, but it's not required to book a session.

This is coaching, not therapy — grounded in the MindHER Method.
Emotional
-
Release: "Always the emotionally strong one — holding it all together, never showing vulnerability."
Redefine: "You don't have to be unshakable to be strong. Real strength includes letting yourself fall apart, and trusting you'll still be okay."
Restore: "Steadiness that doesn't come from constant control — it comes from being held, too."
Physical
-
Release: "Always the physically strong one — doing all the things, all the time, treating rest as weakness."
Redefine: "Strength isn't proven by how much you can push through. It's knowing when to stop."
Restore: "Rest you don't have to earn or apologize for — energy that comes from care, not survival."
Step 1
Take the MindHER Assessment
only $47
This assessment give insight into your heaviest ‘cape’ and a 30-day plan of how to release, redefine, and restore the HERo in you.
Financial
-
Release: "Always the financially strong one — the perpetual ATM for everyone else, rarely replenished yourself."
Redefine: "Strength isn't measured by how much you give away. It's building security that includes you."
Restore: "Stability that doesn't depend on emptying yourself for everyone else first."
Social
-
Release: "Always the socially strong one — the one friend everyone comes to release to, never the one who gets to."
Redefine: "Strength isn't endless availability. It's relationships where support flows both ways."
Restore: "Community that shows up for you, the way you've always shown up for everyone else."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can — MindHER Method Coaching doesn't require the Assessment as a separate purchase. But here's what most women find: after years of holding it together, it's genuinely hard to name what's actually wrong. You might feel "stressed" and assume that's the whole story, when the real weight is financial guilt, or a boundary you've never been allowed to set.
The Assessment does that work first. In 10 minutes, you get a clear, honest picture across all four areas of your life — not just the one that's loudest today. That means when we talk live, we're not spending the first 15 minutes figuring out where to start. We start there.
-
No. The MindHER Method is coaching, not psychotherapy. It's a focused, action-oriented space grounded in real psychological insight — but it doesn't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If you're currently in crisis or need clinical care, please connect with a licensed therapist. (Dr. Lawanda also offers therapy services separately through Mental Fitness Group — see our Services page.)
-

Here is what clients are saying about the MindHER Assessment
"A great tool to reflect on your mental fitness and overall well-being — private and personal. It made me think about how I'm actually living my life: whether I'm taking care of myself, managing stress well, and where else I could grow." — [Debbie ]
"I found the MindHER Assessment easy to follow, and the questions were meaningful and relevant to my current life experience. The results aligned well with where I see myself across all four pillars — emotional, physical, financial, and social — which made it feel accurate and insightful.” — [Marsha]
When you are able to
Every part of HER, restored.
Emotionally, Physically, Financially, and Socially,
