Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Deerfield Beach, FL

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

You'll feel heard, understood, and clear on what's been driving how you feel.

I have more than 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field and have been in private practice since 2003. I work with adults, older adults, adolescents, individuals, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, anger, impulse control, substance use concerns, cultural or ethnic issues, and major life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology in Cuba in 1982 and later completed my Master’s degree at Florida International University in 1998. My background has shaped a warm, culturally sensitive, and practical approach to therapy.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult at first. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and supported as they take that courageous first step toward feeling better and becoming a healthier version of themselves.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I've been a nurse since 2009 and a Nurse Practitioner since 2018, with experience in inpatient mental health and addiction treatment settings.

I specialize in complex mental health conditions and substance use disorders, and I bring both clinical expertise and compassion to every appointment. When we work together, we'll build a treatment plan around what matters most to you because you're the expert on your own life.

Hi! I'm Isabella, and I can't wait to meet you! At Herr-Era, we're therapists for teens, college students, and young adults who are passionate about helping you build bold self-love and healthy boundaries.

If you're tired of feeling stuck, lost, unworthy, or alone, if anger has your relationships struggling, if you're battling depression, anxiety, stress, imposter syndrome, or trauma - you've come to the right place!

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.
