Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Deerfield Beach, FL

Finding the right therapist is an important step, and I know it can feel a little intimidating. My hope is that by learning a little about me, you will feel more comfortable before we meet for the first time. I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from Albizu University in Miami, Fl and have been working for over 9 years in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges in hospitals, inpatient facilities, and private practice. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, trauma, eating disorders, grief, perimenopause, and other health and women's mental health concerns.

My therapeutic style is personalized because I don't believe once approach fits all. I integrate evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness based interventions, and trauma informed techniques. Together, we will work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical skills you can use outside of our session.

I'm Astrid, a dedicated nurse practitioner with over 18 years of healthcare experience, including over 7 years in mental health, presently welcoming clients in FLORIDA and COLORADO.

I believe everyone deserves care that respects their entire being and honors the uniqueness of their life story.

My mission is to create a supportive and healing environment where mental health is approached holistically in a safe and judgment-free environment.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals, especially women across the lifespan, from puberty and postpartum to perimenopause and beyond, as they navigate challenges, reclaim their power, and thrive.

I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working in hospital and trauma settings, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you move forward.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based counseling. I believe every person has resilience, even when it doesn’t feel that way, and therapy can help you reconnect with that strength.

I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, asking difficult questions, and making progress at a pace that feels right for you.
