About

Hello, and welcome! I'm Dr. Lauren Berrios, a licensed psychologist in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. I have spent much of my career working as a psychologist in acute medical settings, where I have had the opportunity to evaluate and care for adults facing a wide range of medical and psychological concerns. Over the past several years, I have also maintained a private practice providing comprehensive psychological evaluations. One of the things I enjoy most about my work is helping people better understand themselves through thoughtful, evidence-based evaluation. My goal is to create a comfortable, collaborative experience where you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the process.

Education & Licensure
Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology, Nova Southeastern University; M.S. in Clinical Psychology, Nova Southeastern University; B.A. in Psychology, Rowan University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I believe there is real value in understanding yourself. Many adults spend years adapting, masking, or wondering why certain aspects of life have felt different without having an explanation. An evaluation can provide clarity, validation, and a better understanding of your unique way of thinking and experiencing the world. Whether autism is ultimately the right diagnosis or not, my hope is that you leave the process with meaningful answers and a deeper understanding of yourself.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe every person brings a unique combination of strengths, challenges, and life experiences. My role is to understand the whole person—not just identify areas of difficulty. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. My goal is to provide an evaluation that recognizes your strengths, offers practical insight into your challenges, and helps you better understand yourself moving forward.
