Dr. Patricia Timerman Barbosa da Silva—affectionately known as "Dr. T"—is a trilingual psychotherapist, author, and the founder of the Florida-based private practice, Advocate2Create.

With over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Timerman specializes in resolving deep-seated relationship conflict, managing anxiety, navigating trauma, and healing from grief. Born in Brazil and educated at both New York University and Barry University, she holds a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and holds dual licenses as a Mental Health Counselor and a Marriage and Family Therapist.

Driven by a mission to bridge human divides, she authored Why Are We Fighting?: Actionable Strategies for Effective Communication, where she introduces her signature "IAP Model." Functioning like a "Google Translate" for human interactions, this framework helps people decode the gaps between their intentions, actions, and perceptions to stop destructive arguments before they start.

When she isn't helping clients or writing, Dr. Timerman uses her unique background in mental health and immigration law to craft trauma-informed clinical evaluations for legal cases, train upcoming clinicians, and speak globally on mental wellness.
