At Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture, we practice a whole-person model of mental health care that goes far beyond medication management — combining psychiatry, acupuncture, TMS therapy, hormone optimization, and licensed counseling into one coordinated treatment plan.
Integrative mental health is an evidence-based approach that treats the root causes of psychiatric conditions rather than just suppressing symptoms. Standard psychiatry often focuses narrowly on neurotransmitter imbalances, but emerging research confirms that mental health is deeply influenced by hormonal balance, inflammation, gut health, sleep quality, chronic pain, and unresolved emotional trauma. Our South Miami clinic addresses all of these dimensions simultaneously.
Founded by Mariela Padro, MD — a board-certified psychiatrist trained at Mount Sinai School of Medicine — and Rafael Padro, DOM, AP, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Mind & Soul is the only clinic in South Florida where a psychiatrist and an acupuncture physician collaborate directly on every patient's care. This unique structure means that when Dr. Mariela identifies a hormonal component driving a patient's depression, Dr. Rafael can begin acupuncture to regulate the nervous system on the very same visit.
Our integrative approach is especially effective for patients who have tried antidepressants without success, experienced intolerable medication side effects, or who want to address the full spectrum of their wellbeing — not just one diagnosis. We treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, burnout, chronic pain, and hormonal mood disorders using the most effective combination of modalities available.
Key pillars of our integrative model include NeuroStar® TMS therapy (FDA-cleared for depression and OCD, with 60–70% response rates in treatment-resistant cases), BioTE® Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT, addressing the hormonal root causes of mood disorders), Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture (regulating the autonomic nervous system and reducing inflammation), and evidence-based psychotherapy (CBT, trauma-informed, and psychodynamic modalities). These are not offered as alternatives to good psychiatric care — they are used alongside it, in a coordinated plan tailored to each patient.
We serve patients in South Miami, Coral Gables, Kendall, Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, and throughout Florida via telehealth. New patients are welcome, most major insurance plans are accepted, and same-week appointments are often available. If you are ready to experience mental health care that treats you as a complete human being — mind, body, and soul — call us at 305-456-1014.
