Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Homestead, FL

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, down, or just not quite like yourself, you don’t have to keep pushing through it alone. Many of the people I work with are doing well on the outside but quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, low motivation, mood changes, or feeling emotionally drained.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who provides personalized care for depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I take the time to understand what you’re experiencing and work with you to find a treatment approach that fits your needs and your life.

My goal is to help you feel better, feel more balanced, and get back to feeling like yourself.

I offer telehealth throughout Florida and in-person visits in Homestead.

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.

As a PMHNP, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in your mental health. I approach care with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to collaborative decision-making. No two clients are the same, so my treatment plans are individualized and shaped by your experiences, values, and goals.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. My goal is to help you feel more fulfilled, empowered, and at peace in your daily life. I work with clients using practical, evidence-based, and solution-focused methods to support personal growth and healing. I also offer Christian Counseling for those who want to incorporate their faith into the therapy process.

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.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience in supporting clients at the residential level of care with a nationally recognized organization, I am hoping to continue fulfilling my purpose in providing high quality therapy outside of the residential setting. I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients as they break free from the chains of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm and suicidality, and eating disorders; and work towards developing a better relationship with themselves through building up their feelings of self-compassion, esteem and confidence.
