What should a new client know about working with you?

Dr. Laracuenta-Hernandez believes your life is more joyful with the support of a dedicated and genuinely caring therapist. This is not a one-size-fits-all job; it takes into account your story and environment. And, therapy doesn’t stop when your weekly session ends. You explore yourself by taking action with simple and effective everyday exercises. The connection is key! We are you, we see you, we get you, we care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The initial intake session is an opportunity for Dr. Laracuenta-Hernandez to connect with you as well as gather information in order to create an initial plan for treatment. Treatment can include sessions weekly or biweekly for 1-6 months, focused on specific goals that we set together. It also may include a recommendation to have a psychological evaluation completed in order to more efficiently determine diagnoses and treatment planning.
