Celebrating Our Team:
Different Perspectives, One Commitment to Your Mental Health
October is a special month at Lake Mary Behavioral and Infusion Center. As we celebrate another year of serving our community, we are taking time to recognize what makes our practice special: our people, our diverse perspectives, and the patients and families who trust us with their mental health care.
Over the years, our practice has grown, but our commitment has remained the same to provide compassionate, individualized mental health care to individuals and families throughout Volusia, Seminole, and Orange Counties.
We believe mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. Every person brings a unique story, background, culture, and set of experiences to their mental health journey. Our growing team reflects that same diversity, bringing different clinical experiences, specialties, languages, and approaches to the care we provide.
Celebrating Our Physician Assistants During National PA Week
National PA Week takes place October 6–12, making October an especially meaningful time to recognize the contributions of physician assistants.
We are proud to recognize Pamela Yarrington, PA, and Jeffrey Lewis, PA, as important members of our psychiatric care team.
Physician assistants play an important role in helping patients understand their mental health treatment options, including medication management. They work with each individual to better understand their concerns, discuss available options, and determine what may be appropriate for their needs.
We are grateful for Pamela and Jeffrey and for the dedication they bring to our patients and our community every day. 🩺
Meet Our Psychiatric Providers
Our psychiatric team includes Dr. Antonio Cubano, Pamela Yarrington, PA, Jeffrey Lewis, PA, Daisy Zevallos, PMHNP, Marcos Santiago, PMHNP-BC, and Ana Curado, NP.
Together, our providers offer psychiatric care across the lifespan and bring experience with a wide range of mental health conditions and treatment needs.
Depending on an individual’s circumstances, our psychiatric providers may discuss options such as medication management, TMS therapy, Spravato, ketamine-based treatments, or other approaches. Treatment decisions are individualized and involve discussing potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and what may be appropriate for each patient.
Meet Our Counseling Team
Our counseling team includes Parinaz Fard-Aghaie, LMHC; Manuela Marin, LMHC; Danielle
Prieto, LMHC; Carmen Normaris Rodriguez, RCSWI; Melissa Smith, LCSW; and Jessica
Ayala, LCSW.
Our therapists bring a variety of clinical backgrounds and therapeutic approaches to their work. Depending on their training and a patient’s needs, treatment approaches may include
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), trauma-focused therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and more. Having a diverse counseling team gives patients the opportunity to explore different therapeutic approaches and find a provider whose experience and communication style may be a good fit for them.
Celebrating the Diversity of Our Team
One of the things we value most about our growing team is the range of cultural and linguistic perspectives our providers bring to our practice.
Our team includes providers who speak English, Spanish, Farsi, Portuguese, and German. Being able to communicate with patients and families in different languages can help create a more comfortable and accessible experience for those seeking care.
Diversity is about more than the languages we speak. It also includes the different experiences, perspectives, backgrounds, and clinical approaches our providers bring to their work.
For patients, that can mean more opportunities to find a provider who understands their individual perspective and with whom they feel comfortable building a therapeutic relationship.
Growing Alongside the Communities We Serve
Our practice continues to grow, and this fall we are excited to welcome two new therapists to our team—one joining us in September and another in October.
As our team grows, so does our ability to provide additional appointment availability for individuals and families seeking mental health support.
Our anniversary gives us an opportunity to look back with gratitude while also looking ahead to the future. We are proud to continue growing our team and expanding access to care for the communities we serve throughout Volusia, Seminole, and Orange Counties.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
An anniversary is more than a date on the calendar. It is a chance to recognize the people who have helped make the journey possible.
To our providers and staff:
Thank you for the compassion, dedication, and expertise you bring
to your work.
To our patients and families:
Thank you for trusting us to be part of your mental health journey.
And to the communities
Throughout Volusia, Seminole, and Orange Counties: thank you for
welcoming us and allowing us to continue serving you. This October, we celebrate our team, our diversity, our growth, and the shared commitment
that brings us together every day.
Different backgrounds. Different perspectives. Different approaches. One caring team committed to your mental health.
Here’s to another year of serving our community and to the years ahead.
