Tamara Aquino Britos, MA, bilingual therapist at Dreavita

What Tamara works on most

Anxiety & Stress

The worry that runs underneath a life that looks managed from outside.

Grief & Loss

Including grief for a life that did not happen. A version of yourself you had already imagined.

Life Transitions

A move to a new country, the end of a relationship, a family rupture you did not choose.

Identity & Self-Worth

The expectations you inherited, and the parts of yourself that only exist in one language.

Immigration & Acculturation

The particular tiredness of belonging to two places and being fully at home in neither.

About Tamara

Tamara Aquino Britos is a bilingual therapist who works with women navigating anxiety, grief, and the transitions that reshape a life: a move to a new country, the end of a relationship, the quiet loss of a future you had already imagined. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from Argentina, where she trained, and works in Spanish and English.

Her work is unhurried and grounded. Sessions draw on mindfulness, breath and body awareness (she is also a certified yoga teacher, RYT-200), and reflective work on values, identity, and self-worth. She pays close attention to what culture, family, and language carry: the expectations you inherited, the parts of yourself that only exist in one language. Clients often arrive saying everything looks fine from the outside and nothing feels right underneath.

In Florida, Tamara practices as an associate therapist under the supervision of Andrea Piazza, LMHC, which means two clinicians are thinking about your care and her sessions are billable to insurance. All sessions are virtual, one to one, with adult women 18 and over, and can be held entirely in Spanish. She offers a free 15-minute consultation so you can decide whether the fit is right before booking.

En español

Tamara Aquino Britos es terapeuta bilingüe y acompaña a mujeres que atraviesan ansiedad, duelo y transiciones que cambian la vida: una mudanza a otro país, el final de una relación, la pérdida silenciosa de un futuro que ya dabas por hecho. Tiene una maestría en psicología clínica de Argentina, donde se formó, y trabaja en español e inglés.

Su trabajo es pausado y con los pies en la tierra. Las sesiones integran mindfulness, respiración y conciencia corporal (también es instructora de yoga certificada, RYT-200), y un trabajo reflexivo sobre valores, identidad y autoestima. Presta especial atención a lo que cargan la cultura, la familia y el idioma: los mandatos que heredaste, las partes tuyas que solo existen en un idioma. Muchas clientas llegan diciendo que por fuera todo está bien y por dentro nada encaja.

En Florida, Tamara ejerce como terapeuta asociada bajo la supervisión de Andrea Piazza, LMHC, lo que significa que dos profesionales piensan en tu cuidado y que sus sesiones se pueden facturar al seguro. Todas las sesiones son virtuales, individuales, con mujeres adultas mayores de 18 años, y pueden realizarse completamente en español. Ofrece una consulta gratuita de 15 minutos para que puedas evaluar si es el acompañamiento que buscas.

A guided meditation from Tamara

Somatic and breath-based practice is part of how she works. This is a sample you can try before you book anything.

The consultation is a conversation, not a commitment

Deciding whether to start therapy is hard enough without a calendar demanding a card number. Here is the whole process.

1

Answer a few questions

Where you are, what brings you here, and how you would pay. Under a minute.

2

Talk to Tamara for 15 minutes

By video, at no cost, in Spanish or English. You describe what is going on and she tells you how she would approach it.

3

Decide after the call

If it feels right, you book a first session. If not, we help you find someone who fits better.

What clients often say when they first reach out

Paraphrased versions of what Tamara hears most. If one of these sounds like your own head, you are in the right place.

Everything looks fine from outside and nothing feels right underneath.
I'm grieving a life I never actually got to have.
I want to say this in Spanish, not translate it.
I moved and I don't know who I am here.
The expectations I grew up with are not mine and I can't put them down.
There are parts of me that only exist in one language.

Questions before you book

Can we work entirely in Spanish?

Yes. Spanish is Tamara's first language and sessions can be held completely in Spanish, completely in English, or moving between the two. Many clients find the work only becomes possible in the language they grew up in.

¿Podemos trabajar en español?

Sí. El español es la lengua materna de Tamara y las sesiones pueden ser completamente en español. También ofrece una consulta gratuita de 15 minutos para que puedas evaluar si es el acompañamiento que buscas.

Where can she see clients?

Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Florida. Sessions are virtual, and you need to be physically in one of those places at the time of your appointment. Puerto Rico is her largest market.

What does associate therapist mean?

Tamara holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from Argentina, where she trained and practices. In Florida she works as an associate under the supervision of Andrea Piazza, LMHC, Dreavita's clinical director. In practice that means a fully licensed clinician reviews her work, and her rate is lower than a fully licensed therapist's.

Who does she work with?

Adult women, 18 and over, one to one. She does not work with minors, men, couples, families, or groups.

Does she take insurance?

In Florida, yes. Her sessions are billable through her supervised status, and Dreavita verifies your benefits before the first session. Private pay is $90 per session in Florida, and $75 for clients in Puerto Rico and Mexico.
