Caring Therapists is proud to have deep roots in the Pembroke Pines community. Founded by Amanda Landry, who grew up in the Pembroke Pines area, our practice was built with a strong understanding of the families, schools, neighborhoods, and community values that make this part of Broward County feel like home. What began as a local counseling practice has grown into a trusted mental health organization while still maintaining the warm, supportive, and family-oriented atmosphere that has always been at the heart of our mission.

Our Pembroke Pines team is honored to have been recognized as “Best of Pines,” reflecting our longstanding commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality mental health care to the community we proudly serve. We believe therapy should feel personal, welcoming, and relationship-driven — not cold or corporate. From the moment clients contact our office, our goal is to create a supportive experience where individuals, children, teens, couples, and families feel genuinely cared for.

Located conveniently for families throughout Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Southwest Ranches, Cooper City, Davie, and Weston, our therapists frequently work with children, teens, parents, college students, and professionals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, behavioral concerns, school challenges, relationship issues, life transitions, and family dynamics.

As a practice deeply connected to the community, we understand the unique pressures many local students and families experience. Our clinicians work with students attending area public and private schools including Charles W. Flanagan High School, Pembroke Pines Charter High School, American Heritage Schools, NSU University School, Archbishop McCarthy High School, and other schools throughout Broward County. We frequently help teens and parents navigate academic stress, social pressures, athletics, family transitions, emotional regulation, anxiety, and preparation for college and adulthood.

Our Pembroke Pines office reflects the values that helped Caring Therapists grow throughout South Florida — community connection, accessibility, professionalism, and compassionate care. Whether you are looking for therapy for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, our team is committed to creating a safe and welcoming space where clients feel supported every step of the way.

Why Pembroke Pines Residents Choose Caring Therapists

Pembroke Pines is one of the largest and most diverse cities in Broward County — a sprawling, family-friendly community known for its excellent charter schools, abundant green spaces, and welcoming neighborhoods that attract families, young professionals, and retirees from all walks of life. With its proximity to both Miami-Dade and Broward employment centers, many Pembroke Pines residents juggle demanding commutes, dual-income households, and the everyday pressures of raising a family in South Florida. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, managing the stress of a busy household, working through relationship difficulties, supporting a child’s emotional well-being, or navigating a life transition like divorce or retirement, having a therapist who understands the Pembroke Pines community can make a meaningful difference.

Caring Therapists is not a solo practice or an online-only platform. We are a clinician-owned group practice with 12 locations across Florida and more than 120 providers. That means our Pembroke Pines clients benefit from the personal attention of a local team backed by the clinical depth, administrative infrastructure, and continuity of a well-established organization. If your therapist is unavailable, you’re never left without support — and if your needs change over time, we can connect you with a specialist within our practice rather than referring you out and starting over.

Our Pembroke Pines office is conveniently located to serve clients throughout Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Cooper City, Hollywood, Southwest Ranches, and the surrounding areas of southern Broward County. We are easily accessible from I-75, Pines Boulevard, Sheridan Street, and the Florida Turnpike, making it convenient for clients traveling from work, school, or home. We see clients Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, with evening appointments available to accommodate busy work, school, and family schedules.
