Sofia Perez

Clinical Assistant


My name is Sofia Perez, and I’ve been working at My Wellness Psychiatry for the past year as a Clinical Assistant. In this role, I support providers with clinical documentation, appointment scheduling, and day-to-day administrative coordination. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work at Florida Atlantic University, with an expected graduation date of May 2026.

I have prior experience in case management, facilitating support groups, and providing therapeutic support to children and adolescents in the school setting. These experiences have helped shape my passion for mental health, particularly in youth-focused care. I’m especially interested in supporting children and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, identity development, and life transitions.

My long-term goal is to become a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and work as a therapist specializing in children and adolescents. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and culturally sensitive environment where young people feel heard and empowered.
I approach my work with empathy, strong communication skills, and a commitment to trauma-informed, strengths-based care.

Izabella Bastos

Clinical Assistant


Izabella Bastos has a passion for people and a growing love for medicine, I serve as a Clinical Assistant at our psychiatry practice, where I support both patients and providers through a wide range of responsibilities. My primary focus is on managing clinical documentation, but I also assist patients with appointment scheduling, medication issues, pharmacy coordination, and insurance-related matters.

Before joining the medical field, I worked as an office manager in the kitchen and bath manufacturing industry, where I honed my skills in billing, purchasing, inventory management, and leading a team. Though my career began in a completely different space, I’ve found deep fulfillment in mental health care — so much so, that I’m planning to return to school to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Originally from Brazil and moving to the U.S. at three years old, I grew up bilingual and bicultural. I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese, which helps me connect with a wider range of patients to ensure they feel comfortable and understood throughout their care.

I’ve been with the practice for two years now — and in that time, I also became a mom (twice!). As both a parent and someone who has experienced my own personal mental health challenges, I understand how crucial it is to receive care that’s empathetic, personalized, and free of judgment. With warmth and compassion, I want our patients to know I’m always willing to go that little extra mile for them. I want every person we care for to feel heard, supported, and confident that they’re in good hands.
