Practitioner record · Checked 6 Nov 2026
Himer Alminana has been in practice 30 years and is licensed in Florida. Himer lists stress, Anxiety, addictions and trauma and abuse among 49 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Himer's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Himer works with
Himer lists 5 specialisms and 44 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Himer chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Himer's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I help clients understand the patterns behind their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships so they can respond rather than react. I draw from CBT informed and DBT informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care to help clients manage triggers, reduce rumination, calm an overactive mind, regulate emotions, and improve relationships. When it fits a client's goals, I can also integrate Relapse Prevention strategies and 12-Step Principles if desired. My role is to offer steady support, structure, and accountability, while helping clients build practical tools for lasting change.

03 · What happens next
Himer practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Himer's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Himer at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Himer is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Himer.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Himer actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Himer's - Himer has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 30 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.
