Patricia Pedroso

Hi, I am Patricia Pedroso, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, providing care in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. My therapy practice is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and a collaborative approach. I use evidence-based strategies such as DBT, CBT, SFBT and ERP to help clients better understand themselves, develop self-compassion and self-esteem, manage difficult emotions and distressing thoughts, tolerate uncertainty, and build effective coping skills. I specialize in supporting adults facing life changes or career stress, experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, low self-compassion and other mental health concerns.

I believe therapy is a space where clients can feel understood, supported, and empowered, based on their own goals and values, to create meaningful change. My goal is to help each client to achieve greater emotional and mental well-being, feel more confident, and connected to their authentic self by providing compassionate care that supports healing, growth, and lasting wellness, so that they can navigate life’s challenges while making room to experience and enjoy the meaningful moments in life.

My experience includes private practice with children and adolescents, as well as providing individual and group therapy, facilitating psychoeducation focused on DBT and CBT skills in higher levels of care, including Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).

My integrative approach blends evidence-based therapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to meet client’s struggles where they are.

My primary objective as your therapist is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and collaborate with you to help you reach your personal goals. I strive to create a warm, empathic, and collaborative environment that encourages self-exploration, inspires hope, and supports positive change. Throughout our work together, you can expect to be engaged in a space where your experiences are respected and your growth is nurtured.
