Professional Mentorship

Over the last 10 years of business in Miami’s mental health community, our practice has grown founder Dr. Hugh Humphery’s commitment to professional mentorship into a small program of services for patients offered by graduate-level students in Psychology and Mental Health Counseling.

We are proud of our affiliations with local programs at the University of Miami and Florida International University through which we are able to host new professionals in mental health for internship experiences that enhance their training and also expand access to quality mental health services to our local community.  We also host Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner students and Medical Students for rotations and practicums.

In Fall 2021, we are hosting two student professionals at our practice who offer in-person and Telehealth therapy services, as well as psycho-educational assessment services.
