Getting to know Ana Hernandez

I’m a licensed therapist who works with people who often carry a lot on their shoulders and are ready to make themselves a priority. My practice is a space to slow down, reflect, and heal in a way that honors your full story. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, identity questions, and the pressure to always have it together. My approach My approach is trauma-informed, culturally competent, and grounded in building a safe, collaborative relationship. I draw from CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic modalities to tailor care that fits your unique needs and goals. Therapy with me is a space to explore your story with curiosity and compassion, build insight, and develop practical tools to navigate life with greater ease and intention. My focus I specialize in working with BIPOC clients, first-generation individuals, and college-aged adults who often carry the weight of expectations, both internal and external. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, identity exploration, or major life transitions. I offer a supportive space to untangle old narratives, build boundaries with care, and reconnect with your sense of self, beyond roles, pressure, and past experiences. My communication style I aim to create a space where open, honest communication feels safe and supportive. From the beginning, we’ll identify how we want to communicate with each other—balancing emotional safety with healthy boundaries—to model what safe, respectful relationships can look like. I invite clients to check in often about what’s working and what’s not, and to share what they’d like more or less of. I tend to be honest and direct, while remaining gentle and empathetic. I also gently challenge my clients to support growth and change, and I welcome that same feedback from them as we build a collaborative, trusting relationship.
