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!

I’ve been working with Hector for a few months now. Our video sessions have been extremely helpful. He’s a good listener, and always helps guide me to the right position. Whether it’d be on video, or a quick message, he responds well and timely! Thank you Hector!!

Hector has been of precious help in the last few weeks! He is a listening and caring individual who shared great advice and insight for several difficulties I was having and has been a tremendous help. I would recommend to everyone.
Unfortunately I am not able to continue for financial reasons and did not get a chance to say good bye.. Thanks a million Hector and I hope to see you again soon!
