Best Addiction & Substance Abuse Counselors in Clearwater, FL

I am licensed in Florida with 22 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Greetings! My name is Hector. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Master Certified Addiction Professional, National Certified Peer Specialist (NCPS) & Recovery Coach, I assist clients seeking recovery from behavioral health and/or addiction challenges. My approach, although firm and tenacious, is pragmatic, altruistic, rooted in compassion, empathy, patience & understanding. It is a blend of over 12 years of professional and personal experience as someone living in long-term recovery. I have had the opportunity to work with many clients, the vast majority of them active, reserve, discharged and/or retired military Veterans such as myself. My therapeutic orientation combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, reality, and rational-emotive therapies, motivational interviewing, and even 12-Step facilitation, if/as needed. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and taking the first steps towards change, and for that I commend you. If you are ready to embark on your path of healing and recovery, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
