I am a clinical psychologist who has been in private practice since 2001. I relocated from South Florida to Austin in 2009. I am licensed as a psychologist in both Texas and Florida.
I graduated with both a Masters and Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale in 1999.
My predoctoral residency was completed in 1998 at Miami Children’s Hospital, with an emphasis on pediatric psychology, family therapy, and eating disorders.
My postdoctoral residency was completed in 2000 at the Renfrew Center in South Florida, the first national residential treatment center for eating disorders.
When I moved from South Florida to Austin, I first worked as Clinical Director for
Cedar Springs Austin, a partial hospitalization treatment program for eating disorders and comorbid disorders in West Lake Hills.
Throughout my 20 years as a licensed psychologist, I have enjoyed the opportunity to support, nuture, and empower my patients and their families. I employ an eclectic approach, utilizing empirically supported treatment strategies coupled with a genuine, therapeutic alliance. My areas of specialization include eating disorders, depression, anxiety, post-partum, divorce and co-parenting, trauma, grief, loss, and struggles with separation and individuation. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Working in both residential and outpatient facilities has helped me become adept at using a multidisciplinary approach. Psychotherapy works best when a collaborative approach is incorporated, and I believe that working in close communication with physicians, psychiatrists, dietitians, and family members can provide positive benefits for my patients.
For Fall 2017, my office hours are Mondays 10-6, Tuesdays 10-4, Wednesdays 10-4, Thursdays 9-2, and Fridays 10-5.
I look forward to meeting with you and scheduling a consultation soon.
Best,
Dr. Rozana Zaifer-Sims
