I am accepting clients Tuesday–Friday mornings and early afternoons. Virtual only on Thursdays and Fridays.

For the past three years, I’ve had the honor of sitting with people through their real-life ups and downs, helping them build confidence, heal, and feel more connected to themselves. I’m a therapist who keeps it real: open, genuine, and never judgmental. You can talk to me about anything, and my priority is always to make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and never rushed. We’ll go at your pace, together.

I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and earned my master’s in Professional Counseling Psychology from Florida International University. I’m fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and I care deeply about creating a safe space for people from all cultures and backgrounds.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is easy to talk to, supportive, and truly gets it, then I’d love to connect with you!

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 am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of nursing experience. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings, including Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Baptist Health South Florida. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and crisis intervention for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I treat conditions including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and substance use. As a bilingual provider in English and Spanish, I am committed to making compassionate mental health care more accessible.

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.

I’m a licensed therapist who works with moms and couples who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected. I specialize in postpartum mental health, anxiety, and the mental load that often falls on women. My approach is warm, direct, and practical—I’ll support you while also helping you shift the patterns that keep you stuck. Therapy with me is a space to be honest, feel understood, and start reconnecting with yourself and your relationship.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) at Kendall South Medical Center in Miami, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adults and older adults. I treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and sleep concerns, offering both medication management and therapy. I see clients in person and by telehealth, in English and Spanish.

Call and schedule a brief 10 minute call and ask what you'd like. I'm an open book.

Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating.

I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, teens, adults, and older adults.

I help people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma/PTSD, sleep problems, stress, and mood concerns.

I offer both in-person and virtual appointments in Florida and virtual in Oregon. I take time to listen, understand what you are going through, explain your treatment options clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.

My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and involved in your mental health care.
