Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pembroke Pines, FL

If you're looking for a therapist who honors your story, sees the systems around you, and supports your growth with compassion and curiosity, look no further. With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I have had the privilege of working alongside extraordinary people, believing that people heal best when they feel seen. I value the concept of slowing down, breathing, and reconnecting with one's strengths. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and families, and I'm especially passionate about supporting people who juggle multiple roles or feel the weight of others' expectations. I have a bachelor's in human development and family studies, a master's in clinical mental health counseling, and I am currently working towards a doctorate degree in marriage and family therapy.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in prioritizing mental health for all persons as s key to happiness and stability. Congratulations in taking the first and hardest step in seeking mental health treatment. I’ve been practicing for 30 years, but in the last decade, I have been focusing both on med management and individual therapy.

I graduated with my Masters of Science degree with a major in Clinical Psychology from Barry University. My practical training began at Family Counseling Services of Greater Miami. I have also gained invaluable crisis care and intervention experience working with adults and adolescents at a Crisis Services Unit. My work at a private psychosocial rehabilitation organization allowed me to gain additional proficiency working with adolescents and adults with severe and persistent mental illness.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering therapy for children, teens, and their caregivers. I have over 9 years of experience working with youth and families on issues such as child depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavioral problems. I earned my PhD in Clinical-Community Psychology from the University of South Carolina. I completed a pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Miami (UM) Mailman Center for Child Development, where I specialized in pediatric psychology, primarily working in school-based primary care clinics with middle and high-school students. In addition to years of academic and clinical training, I am also the mother of a toddler. Being a parent myself has deepened my understanding and empathy for the families with whom I work.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, that honor the mind-body connection. I help you rebuild trust and connection with yourself and others. My work consists helping you develop awareness, build skills, and expand your perspectives so that you can live a life that is meaningful to you. In addition to my education background in Psychology, Couple and Family Therapy, I am also trained in EMDR, Mindfulness-Based modalities and attachment-based theories.

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.

My name is Romy Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked with various populations with mental health and substance abuse struggles. I also provided Trauma Focused Therapy to adolescents and their families who lived in the shelter and were in the court system. This job is very rewarding and I am blessed to be included in the journey of many wonderful individuals.
