Dr. Mariela Padro, MD

Dr. Mariela Padro, MD is the Co-Founder of Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture and a board-certified integrative psychiatrist serving patients in South Miami and throughout Florida via telehealth. A third-generation behavioral health professional, Dr. Padro approaches every patient as a complete, whole person — integrating psychiatry, functional medicine, hormone therapy, and evidence-based holistic care to achieve lasting results.

She completed her psychiatric residency as Chief Resident at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, followed by a Fellowship in Psychoanalysis from NYU. She is an Adjunct Member of The Florida Psychoanalytic Center and has completed a year-long Fellowship in Integrative Psychiatry with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.

Dr. Padro is one of the few psychiatrists in South Florida combining NeuroStar® TMS therapy, BioTE® Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), nutritional psychiatry, and ketamine-assisted care with conventional psychiatric treatment — offering a genuinely comprehensive approach to mental health that most practices simply cannot provide.

Her philosophy is straightforward: every patient is unique, every condition has a root cause, and lasting recovery comes from addressing all dimensions of health — mental, physical, and hormonal — not just prescribing medication. When medication is appropriate, she prescribes at the lowest effective dose with careful monitoring and a clear plan toward reduction.
