Integrative Mental Health Care

Integrative Psychiatry for Every Stage of Life

R&C Psychiatry and Integrative Medicine is a bilingual, multi-provider psychiatry practice serving South Florida from two locations, in Pembroke Pines and Miami. We care for children, adolescents and adults, combining thorough psychiatric evaluation and medication management with psychotherapy and advanced treatments so each patient gets a plan built around them.

Our mission is to expand access to high-quality, compassionate mental health care. We deliver evidence-based services that promote stability, recovery, and a better quality of life through coordinated, patient-centered outpatient treatment. By integrating prescribers and therapists under one roof, we remove the barriers families often face when seeking timely psychiatric care. Our providers maintain active membership with the American Psychiatric Association and the Florida Psychiatric Association.

A Conversation with Dr. Roberto Carmona

Dr. Roberto Carmona, founder of R&C Psychiatry and Integrative Medicine, shares his journey from being a GI specialist in Cuba to rebuilding his career in the U.S. after immigrating in 2009. Unable to revalidate his medical license, he pursued nursing at Florida International University, earning a Doctorate and dual certification as a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

After an unexpected job loss in September 2022, he launched his own practice, which grew rapidly to 600 patients within a year. Today, R&C Psychiatry serves around 3,500 patients, hit $1M in profits in 2025, opened a second location in Doral, and is preparing to open a third in Palm Beach County.

He describes the practice as a family-centered, integrative mental health clinic that blends traditional psychiatry with innovative, whole-person care, and emphasizes that the future of psychiatry will be more tech-enabled but still rooted in the human therapeutic relationship.

D Mustapha D Mustapha
★★★★★
"I had such a great experience with my psychiatrist. From the very first appointment, she made me feel completely comfortable, heard, and understood. She creates such a calm and safe space where I never feel judged or rushed. She is incredibly attentive and takes her time to really listen and explain everything clearly. I always feel involved in my treatment plan, and she makes sure I’m comfortable every step of the way. You can genuinely tell she cares about her patients and their well-being. She’s helped me through some really difficult moments with so much patience and compassion, and I’ve seen such a positive difference in myself because of her. I feel more stable, more in control, and more like myself again. I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a psychiatrist who is kind, professional, and truly cares."
