Our Hollywood Team

Caring Therapists is proud to serve the diverse and vibrant Hollywood community. Our Hollywood office reflects our longstanding connection to Broward County and the people who call this area home. Amanda Landry, owner of Caring Therapists, attended and graduated from McArthur High School, making the Hollywood area especially meaningful to our practice and its continued growth throughout South Florida.

In July 2025, Caring Therapists proudly took over the former Grief Tree location in Hollywood, allowing us to continue providing compassionate mental health services within a space already known in the community for emotional support and healing. We were honored to build upon the foundation established there while expanding the range of counseling and psychological services available to individuals, couples, children, teens, and families throughout the area. Our goal throughout the transition was to maintain a warm, welcoming, and community-oriented atmosphere while bringing additional specialties, resources, and accessibility to the Hollywood community.

Hollywood is known for its unique blend of beautiful beaches, diverse neighborhoods, strong sense of community, and active South Florida lifestyle. From the iconic Hollywood Beach Broadwalk to nearby restaurants, parks, local events, and waterfront living, the area offers a balance of relaxation, family life, and professional opportunity that attracts residents from all walks of life. Our clinicians understand the pace and pressures that can come with balancing careers, relationships, parenting, academics, caregiving responsibilities, and emotional wellness within the busy Broward County lifestyle.

Our team also values the strong and longstanding Jewish community throughout Hollywood and surrounding areas including Cooper City, Davie, Pembroke Pines, and Aventura. We are committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive mental health care that respects the backgrounds, traditions, values, and experiences of the diverse families and individuals we serve throughout the community.

At Caring Therapists, we work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, life transitions, and burnout. We understand that even in a community known for sunshine, beaches, and an active social lifestyle, emotional wellness remains an important part of maintaining overall health and balance.

Our Hollywood-area clinicians provide individual therapy, child and adolescent counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, psychological testing, psychoeducational evaluations, forensic evaluations, and substance abuse evaluations. We specialize in areas including anxiety treatment, trauma therapy, play therapy, EMDR, LGBTQ+ affirming counseling, grief counseling, and evidence-based couples counseling approaches including Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

As a practice deeply rooted in Broward County, we are proud to continue serving the Hollywood community with compassionate, relationship-focused care in a welcoming and supportive environment. We offer both in-person appointments and telehealth services throughout Florida, along with flexible scheduling and acceptance of most major insurance plans.
