Getting to know Alma Hernandez

I’m a mental health counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and other challenges that can impact their emotional well-being. I believe therapy should be a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, while allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels appropriate for you. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporate other evidence-based techniques based on each client’s individual needs and goals. My goal is to help you better understand what you’re experiencing, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident managing life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with something specific or simply feel that things have become difficult to manage on your own, therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and work toward meaningful change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before your first appointment. My role is not to judge or tell you what you should do, but to work alongside you to better understand what you’re experiencing and what you would like to change. I strive to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly and feel respected. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with time to talk through what is going on while also working on practical strategies that you can use outside of therapy. Depending on your goals, we may work on understanding thoughts and behaviors, managing anxiety and stress, improving coping skills, strengthening emotional regulation, or navigating difficult life experiences and transitions. I’ll work with you to find an approach that feels useful and meaningful to you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During the first session, we’ll spend time getting to know you, discussing what brought you to therapy, and identifying the concerns or goals you would like to work on. This is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of my approach and ask any questions you may have about the therapy process. As we continue, sessions will generally include a combination of conversation, reflection, and therapeutic strategies based on your individual needs. We may discuss recent situations or challenges, explore patterns that may be affecting your well-being, and practice skills or techniques that can help you manage those challenges. Throughout therapy, we’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our focus as needed. My goal is for therapy to be a collaborative process where you feel supported while also gaining practical tools to help you make progress between sessions.
