About Dr. Cerrissa
Dr. Cerrissa is the Author of Cultivating & Creating Healthy MyNDSpaces: 9 Strategies to Emotional Wellness & Personal Growth. She is also the Founder & CEO of MyNDSpace Mental Health. In January 2022, MyNDSpace was launched as a mental health practice in Charleston, SC, providing medication management, addictions services, psychotherapy, family, and group therapy. As an added service, Dr. Hugie and the practice's clinicians provide mental health workshops, training, & consulting for government agencies, corporations, universities, K-12 schools, community-based programs, faith communities, nonprofit organizations, and mental health professionals.
Using her professional training and experiences, Dr. Cerrissa advocates for a holistic biopsychosocial approach to mental health, which requires that we compassionately consider our full selves — the mind, the body, the spirit, and the environments in which we live, work, and play. She was recently named among the Harbour Club Future Leaders Class of 2022. In addition, she was also a recipient of Charleston Regional Business Journal's Forty Under 40 Award. Dr. Cerrissa is the first African-American female Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner to launch her own practice in the city of Charleston, SC.
