About
Latoya Bendolph, Psy.D.
Hello, and welcome. I’m Dr. Latoya Bendolph, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the District of Columbia and licensed for telepsychology through PSYPACT. Whether you're coping with infertility, managing persistent pain, facing major life transitions, or seeking guidance as a fellow clinician, I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Together, we’ll work to understand your story, clarify what matters most, and support meaningful, lasting change.
My practice is inclusive and welcoming to all—regardless of marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural background, or family structure. Everyone deserves access to compassionate, informed mental health support.
I help people who feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed feel better about their current circumstances. Whether you are dealing with a stressful job, major life transitions or loneliness, I believe we can work together to address the situation. I also specialize in coaching and therapy for therapists and other health care providers. My hope is that I can help you develop the skills necessary to cope with your particular situation and improve your mood. If you feel like this describes you, please contact me.
I support individuals and couples through the emotional complexities of infertility and third-party reproduction, including IVF, donation, and surrogacy. My specialization in fertility psychology stems from witnessing how profoundly these challenges impact emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. I offer psychological evaluations for intended parents, donors, surrogates, and embryo recipients—services often required by clinics or agencies. These evaluations not only meet requirements but also help ensure emotional readiness and support as people take meaningful steps toward building their families.
I am a Certified Empowered Relief™ Instructor. Empowered Relief™ is an evidence-based, single-session pain class that rapidly equips patients with pain management skills. Over the course of 2 hours, attendees learn various ways to dampen pain processing in their central nervous system with easy-to-use skills. The class is skills based, includes experiential exercises, and participants complete a personalized plan for relief. The class helps quickly shift patients from being passive recipients of medical care to active participants in their pain care plan.
