Why Integrated Therapy Matters at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry

Why Integrated Therapy Matters at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry


At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, Dr. Eric Robbins believes that mental health care is more than just prescribing medications. While medication can be a vital part of treatment, lasting healing and wellness often come from combining psychiatry with quality therapy—addressing both the biological and emotional aspects of mental health.

The Importance of Therapy in Psychiatry


Mental health conditions are complex. Medication helps balance brain chemistry, but therapy provides tools to:


  • Understand and process emotions

  • Develop coping strategies

  • Improve relationships and communication

  • Address past trauma or life challenges

  • Build resilience and support lasting change

By integrating therapy directly into our psychiatry practice, we create a coordinated, holistic approach where providers communicate closely and collaborate on your care.

Our Dedicated Therapy Team


Our experienced therapists are an essential part of this integrated model, offering specialized care for children, teens, adults, and families. They bring a variety of skills and perspectives, including bilingual therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and family systems work.

Our team includes:


  • Jesimar El Yamel, LMHC, our lead therapist and bilingual provider who oversees our intern program.

  • Daphkar Dubreuil, LMHC

  • Lea Solorzano, RMFTI

  • Christine Altidor, Telehealth Therapist

  • Luciana Wimbish, LMHC, specializing in children, teens, and families



Supporting Future Therapists and Expanding Access


Through our partnership with Nova Southeastern University, Jesimar supervises graduate-level therapy interns completing their clinical hours. This program expands access to care by offering therapy at lower costs on a sliding scale for eligible clients.



If you’re seeking affordable therapy options, therapy with our interns may be a great fit — with the assurance of expert supervision.

How to Access Integrated Care


Whether you’re interested in starting medication, therapy, or both, our team works together to create personalized treatment plans that fit your unique needs.
