I have more than 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field and have been in private practice since 2003. I work with adults, older adults, adolescents, individuals, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, anger, impulse control, substance use concerns, cultural or ethnic issues, and major life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology in Cuba in 1982 and later completed my Master’s degree at Florida International University in 1998. My background has shaped a warm, culturally sensitive, and practical approach to therapy.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult at first. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and supported as they take that courageous first step toward feeling better and becoming a healthier version of themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding addiction therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, process addiction, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Fort Lauderdale offers a range of addiction counseling options, from local therapy offices to virtual appointments that expand access beyond nearby neighborhoods. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their approach matches the kind of support you want. Recovery can move in stages, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, or substance use concerns in their bio before you book.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find addiction therapists who accept your plan, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and are accepting new clients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
