Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Vero Beach, FL

Hi, it's nice to meet you! I'm Mode, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have a deep passion for supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as helping adults of all ages find healthier ways to manage stress and reclaim a sense of balance.

Outside of work, I love to travel and spend time at the beach, experiences that remind me daily of the power of slowing down and being present.

If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

I've spent over 21 years helping people navigate some of life's toughest situations — substance use, trauma, domestic violence, anger, and the kind of challenges that make it hard to see a way forward. I spent the last decade working in court-ordered programs with clients who didn't choose to be in therapy, and I got them to stay. First thing I tell every client: I am your advocate. I'm real, I'm relatable, and yes, I will make you laugh! I'm a seasoned Black woman from New York City, and my NYC energy definitely comes through. Clients describe me as someone who can break through that wall of resistance many people walk in with and I'm proud of that.

With over 12 years of experience, Sonia Edouard, PMHNP, is a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in holistic care for adults and children facing mental health challenges. She employs a compassionate, evidence-based approach, honoring cultural diversity and individual uniqueness to foster healing and personal growth.

Bienvenido/Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (SW26009) in the state of Florida. I have worked in a variety of settings, including: psychiatric hospitals/centers, schools, crisis response services, and community-based agencies. My clients represent a wide range of ages, genders, sexual orientations, faiths, education levels, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. In my practice, I focus on supporting individuals through life transitions, processing past trauma, and building awareness of their current strengths and resilience.

You might feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by mood changes, or unsure how to navigate relationships in a way that feels natural or fulfilling. Whether you’re dealing with depression, bipolar patterns, or feeling “different” in social or emotional spaces, it can be exhausting trying to figure it out on your own.

I work with adults, including neurodivergent individuals, who want to better understand themselves, improve relationships, and feel more steady and connected in their daily lives. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, supported, and able to be fully yourself.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or the emotional demands of parenthood, you're not alone. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating life transitions, maternal mental health concerns, stress, grief, family conflict, substance use concerns, and PTSD. Whether you're struggling to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, or heal from past experiences, therapy can provide a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and believe healing begins in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to create meaningful change while building resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.

My name is Paula Arce and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, Codependency and Borderline Personality features. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I help clients to overcome anxiety and fear by identifying and transforming ineffective behaviors, habits and beliefs that may keep them stuck. I believe that each person holds the power to create meaningful change, and my role is to guide and support you as you find new ways to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. In my practice as a mental health professional, I am guided by conservative values. I also offer the option, for those who wish, to incorporate Christian principles into the therapeutic process, always respecting each individual's faith and needs.

If you’re struggling to cope with Depression, Grief, or any other mental disorder I can help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward.

I’m passionate about my clients and their well-being. I am committed to helping them “cross the bridge” from pain to safety and empowerment. I also enjoy participating in workshops, speaking engagements, webinars, and podcasts.

If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request.

I am a kind, open-minded person who genuinely values listening and understanding others. I believe that some of the most meaningful connections begin with simply feeling heard. I have an extensive background and passion for psychology, and I am endlessly fascinated by the brain, the mind, and how deeply connected they are to our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my cats, and traveling whenever I get the opportunity. I naturally enjoy helping others navigate life’s challenges, whether that involves problem-solving, relationships, emotional struggles, or finding new perspectives during difficult times. Helping people better understand themselves and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is something that brings me genuine purpose.

I also hold a special passion for supporting our military, veterans, and first responders. Being married to one has given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sacrifices made by these individuals and their families. I believe the men and women who have served and protected our country are among our nation’s greatest assets, and I feel deeply committed to helping support their mental health, resilience, and quality of life as they continue carrying burdens many others may never fully understand.
