Discover how our integrative approach in South Miami combines psychiatry and acupuncture to restore your mental and physical balance.

Section: Understanding Holistic Mental Health

In our fast-paced world, it is easy to feel disconnected from ourselves. At Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture, we believe that true well-being is not just the absence of illness, but the presence of harmony between the mind and body. Located in the heart of South Miami, our clinic specializes in a holistic mental health approach that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Section: The Synergy of Modern Science and Ancient Wisdom

Under the leadership of Dr. Mariela Padro, MD, and Rafael Padro, DOM, AP, our practice bridges the gap between conventional psychiatry and traditional acupuncture. Dr. Padro brings years of expertise in psychiatric care, while Rafael Padro provides time-tested acupuncture techniques. This unique combination allows us to offer comprehensive treatment plans for patients seeking a more personalized approach to mental wellness.

Section: Our Comprehensive Services

We provide a wide range of modalities designed to support your journey to health. For those struggling with treatment-resistant depression, our state-of-the-art TMS therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free solution. We also offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and advanced peptide therapy to address the biological foundations of mood and energy. Whether you visit us in our South Miami office or connect through our secure telehealth platform, our goal is to provide accessible, high-quality care that meets you where you are.

Section: Why Holistic Care Matters

Mental health is complex, and it is rarely improved by medication alone. By integrating acupuncture into your care plan, we can help reduce physiological stress, improve sleep, and promote nervous system regulation. When we treat the body as a partner in mental health recovery, our patients often report a deeper sense of clarity and long-term emotional stability.

What to Expect

What Happens During Your First Visit

We know starting therapy or psychiatry can feel intimidating. Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises, no pressure.

Step 1: Schedule Your Visit

2 minutes

Call 305-456-1014 or book online. Our team verifies your insurance and finds a time that works for you — often same-week.

Step 2: Intake Questionnaire

10 minutes

Before your visit, you'll complete a brief intake form covering your symptoms, history, medications, and goals. This helps us prepare for your appointment.

Step 3: Comprehensive Evaluation

60 minutes

Your provider conducts a thorough evaluation — not a rushed 15-minute check. We explore your mental health history, lifestyle, hormones, sleep, and physical health to identify root causes.

Step 4: Personalized Treatment Plan

Same visit

Together, you and your provider build a personalized plan — which may include therapy, medication, TMS, acupuncture, BHRT, or lifestyle changes. No two plans are alike.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Ongoing Care

Ongoing

We schedule follow-ups to track your progress and adjust your plan. Most patients begin noticing improvement within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment.
