ABOUT ME: Dr. Roatta offers full psychological testing/evaluations of adolescents and adults. Treatment is provided in English and Spanish to adults and adolescents in the Coral Gables/South Miami area. "
STYLE
IN THE THERAPY SESSION:" I utilize a straight forward cognitive-behavioral approach. This means I work with you to identify triggers (such as intrusive thoughts) which create a feeling (such as anxiety or depression). These feelings lead to behaviors (such as avoidance) which attempt to minimize these uncomfortable feelings. My short-term approach helps you understand what you can do to control this cycle and thereby change your behaviors and decrease feelings of anxiety and depression. In addition, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy specifically for persons diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.
