Hugo Herrera

My therapeutic approach helps people establish healthy relationships around them and improve their quality of life through self-knowledge and self-acceptance.

Through a firm commitment to giving my patients the tools to face any challenge, I have achieved successful outcomes with people marked by an event, past or present, that led them to poor emotional management and self-destructive behaviours such as alcohol and drug abuse.

I am a Certified Addiction Professional (CAP) from St. Augustine College in Chicago, Illinois, with credentials validated at the University of Miami to practise in the state of Florida. I am also an internationally certified therapist for the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse.

I have worked in addiction and mental health for more than thirty-five years. I spent nineteen years as a therapist at South Miami Hospital and twelve as executive director of Equilibrium, a therapeutic centre in Coral Gables dedicated to substance abuse and mental health disorders, where we cared for patients and families entirely in Spanish. Today I continue that work in private practice, in person in Miami and online for those further away.
