Getting to know Michael Hernandez
Important Note:
This is a psychiatric practice only. I do not provide primary care, manage chronic pain, or prescribe controlled substances for non-psychiatric or non-addiction-related reasons. I also do not offer general medical care or urgent care services. If you are seeking treatment for non-psychiatric issues, please book with a primary care provider or another appropriate specialist. Please review this profile carefully before booking to ensure your needs fall within the scope of psychiatric care. I look forward to helping you move toward greater peace, purpose, and mental wellness.
At Twelve Oaks Psychiatry, I provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care with a focus on helping clients achieve emotional balance, clarity, and resilience. I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and substance use disorders. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in your healing process.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I offer both medication management and supportive therapy depending on your needs. I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach, working with you to explore treatment options and build a plan that is evidence-based, realistic, and tailored to your life.
If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or substance use challenges such as alcohol or stimulant addiction, you are not alone, and help is available. We will work together to identify what is getting in the way of your wellbeing and develop a sustainable path forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to care is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and clarity. I understand that seeking mental health treatment can feel overwhelming, especially if you are unsure where to begin or have had negative experiences in the past. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected from the very first session.
During our work together, I will take the time to understand your unique concerns, experiences, and goals. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or substance use challenges, we will explore the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to your distress and develop a thoughtful, personalized treatment plan.
I provide medication management, supportive therapy, and education about your diagnosis and treatment options. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I focus on what works for you, at your pace and on your terms, with a strong emphasis on safety, evidence-based care, and long-term stability.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my clear communication style, openness to feedback, and willingness to explain things in a straightforward and respectful way. You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to help you regain a sense of control and confidence in your mental health journey.
Please note that I treat psychiatric conditions only. I do not provide primary care or manage non-psychiatric medical conditions. Reviewing this profile carefully before booking will help ensure we are a good match for your needs.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I begin each session by creating a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can share your story openly and at your own pace. My first priority is to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and goals so we can develop a personalized treatment plan together.
During our initial visit, I take time to explore your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and overall emotional well-being. From there, we’ll discuss medication options, therapy goals, and holistic strategies such as mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and self-care routines that support your overall wellness.
I believe that healing is a collaborative process. I encourage open communication and regular check-ins to ensure that your treatment continues to meet your needs. Follow-up sessions focus on monitoring progress, adjusting medications as needed, and supporting your growth through education, insight, and empowerment.

5 Stars – Truly Outstanding Psychiatrist
I cannot recommend Dr. Michael Hernandez highly enough. In my very first appointment, I felt truly heard and understood. Dr. Hernandez has an incredible ability to listen, not just to words, but to the meaning and emotion behind them. He creates a safe, welcoming space where it's easy to open up, even about the most difficult topics.
What sets Dr. Hernandez apart is his compassion, patience, and deep knowledge. They never rush through sessions, and he takes the time to understand my concerns fully.
If you're looking for a psychiatrist who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares and connects on a human level, Dr. Hernandez is exactly that. An awesome doctor and an even better listener!

Dr. Hernandez is
amazing! I reached out for help at a very low point and i could tell right away how much he really wanted to help me. He is incredibly kind and empathetic and I’m so grateful to have connected with him.
October 6, 2025Emily B.Verified patientVideo visit
I had a great experience with my televisit. The doctor was on time, attentive, and made me feel comfortable even over video. They listened carefully, explained things clearly, and didn’t rush through the appointment. The whole process was smooth and convenient, and I left with a clear plan and peace of mind. I would definitely use this provider again and recommend them to others looking for quality care through a virtual visit.
October 3, 2025Joseph W.Verified patientVideo visit
My experience with this provider was excellent. He was incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable which is exactly what I look for. I could tell he genuinely cared and I was not just another number. Everything was efficient and all of my needs were taken care of quickly. By far the best experience I have had.
September 19, 2025Gilberto R.Verified patientVideo visit
This was by farthe best experience I have had with a provider. A part from being professional, I felt empathy and kindness. The entire staff was efficient and I felt my medical needs were taken care of promptly. I would highly recommend.

Dr Hernandez was clinical and very much helpful. He reminded me several times that he had an upcoming appointment with someone else and while I didn't mind so much, I can assure you that people with mental health problems probably don't want to be constantly reminded how little time the doctor has to talk to you but in my case, expediting the process actually worked in my favour.
August 27, 2025DANIEL A.Verified patientVideo visit
Michael took the time to really listen and was very knowledgeable. He was straightforward but always respectful, which made it easy to talk openly. I felt like he genuinely cared about my well-being, and I’d definitely recommend him to others.

10 out of 10
August 13, 2025Richard B.Verified patientVideo visit
Not the right fit for me. First appointment involved a chart mix-up, making me re-answer my intake. Questions felt too black-and-white, and my main concerns weren’t fully addressed. I experienced prescription errors, including the wrong formulation and an unadjusted dose despite my request. While not unkind, there were repeated issues with organization, attention to detail, and listening to patient feedback.

This provider is great! He took a lot of time with me to make sure he found the right medication to help with my anxiety. He is king caring, and one of the first providers that actually took the time to listen. I highly recommend this provider, and any patient would be lucky to see him.
Less than 1 year agoJS
Honestly I was super nervous about starting therapy but coming here turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. Dr. Hernandez actually listens without judging and he does not treat you like you are a little kid. It feels like he really gets what I am going through and he helps me figure things out instead of just telling me what to do. It is not awkward like I thought it would be, the conversations feel real and honest. I actually leave feeling better, not worse, which was not the case when I tried talking to someone else before. If you are a teenager and you are struggling I would definitely recommend coming here. It has made a huge difference for me.

Seeing Dr. Hernandez was like a breath of fresh air. He’s super easy to talk to—like catching up with a really smart friend who actually listens (and knows what he’s talking about). I never felt rushed or brushed off, which is rare these days. He took the time to explain things in a way that actually made sense and made sure I felt like part of the plan, not just along for the ride. I also appreciated that meds weren’t pushed as the only solution—just one of several thoughtful options. I left feeling lighter, more hopeful, and totally supported. 10/10, would recommend!

He has an unusually empathetic and positive spirit, which allowed me to discuss my current challenges in a very relaxing manner. I felt he was patient and honest without being judgmental. I would highly recommend Dr. Hernandez,!

My visit with Dr. Hernandez was very refreshing. He was truly interested in what I had to say and I never felt rushed. He possesses a very calm and reassuring demeanor, which allowed me to feel very comfortable about opening up to him with my concerns. We explored multiple options and I left feeling real progress had been made. I’m looking forward to my next appointment.
