Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pembroke Pines, FL

Hi, I'm Zaneb! I'm a licensed mental health therapist who believes therapy should be a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. I earned my bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Sociology and my Master's in Social Work from The Ohio State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, self-esteem, stress, relationship challenges, and cultural identity. As someone who understands the pressure of balancing high expectations, perfectionism, and multiple roles, I strive to create a space where you don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help.

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.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

I believe that healing begins the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. Seeking support is a courageous step, and my goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, overcome life's challenges, and reconnect with your authentic self.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and the founder of Self Creation Holistic Counseling & Wellness. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, low self-esteem, and substance use concerns.

I believe that every person has the ability to grow, heal, and create meaningful change, regardless of where they are in their journey. Therapy is not about changing who you are—it is about discovering your strengths, developing healthier ways of coping, and building a life that feels more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling.

At Self Creation, I believe that true transformation comes from learning to care for yourself with compassion while embracing your ability to evolve. Whether you are facing a difficult season, working through past experiences, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

My hope is that every session leaves you feeling more empowered and one step closer to becoming the person you were always meant to be.

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.
