Hello. I’m Claudia Leopold, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I help adults and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, postpartum depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. Clients often share that they appreciate my down-to-earth style, sense of humor, and the way I educated them on their disease and medications. I see patients via tele-health or in person ( Plantation, FL). I speak Spanish!
In our first session, I focus on building trust, exploring your concerns, understanding your history, and collaboratively setting goals. I aim to create a supportive, safe environment where you feel heard.
My ability to make clients feel heard, to provide a personalized, holistic approach using Integrative psychiatry and be able to take into account my client’s culture, values and wishes.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure where to start, I’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. My approach blends evidence-based medication management with a holistic, person-centered perspective. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, stigma-free, and empowering. LGBTQ+ individuals have a safe space as well.
Supportive
As a PMHNP, I use supportive therapy to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can express themselves openly. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and providing empathy, active listening, and encouragement. My goal is to help clients strengthen their coping skills, build self-esteem, and feel emotionally supported while navigating life’s challenges. This approach is especially helpful for clients dealing with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, or chronic mental health conditions.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Claudia L. today, and she was absolutely wonderful. She’s so kind and soft spoken, yet very straightforward, which I really appreciate. She doesn’t sugarcoat things but explains everything with care and clarity. I felt truly heard and guided in the right direction. I left the appointment feeling hopeful and supported. Highly recommend her!
