Getting to know Angela Hernandez

Hello, my name is Angela Hernandez, and I am an LCSW with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I have experience working with clients aged 8 to 25, focusing on behavioral issues, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, and stress. I believe that focusing on strengths and starting where the client is are fundamental for therapeutic success. I am a very forward therapist who believes that being real with my clients helps build rapport and trust in our relationship. My heart is with children and young adults, and I am passionate about supporting them as they work toward change that will benefit their adult lives. I frequently use CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and SFT in my practice. My typical client is between 8 and 25 years old, and I am most comfortable addressing stress, anxiety, behavioral issues, and self-harming behaviors. Motivational interviewing is a tool I often use to help clients navigate the stages of change. I am committed to a strength-based approach to foster positive growth. I am very blunt and forward in my approach, which I find helps build positive rapport with the age group I usually work with. Adolescents and young adults tend to appreciate honesty and directness, which helps establish therapeutic trust and encourages them to engage in positive change. Seeing change in someone who was struggling or not in a good place is incredibly fulfilling and motivates me to continue in my career. Being an outlet for someone is a blessing, and I feel privileged to be part of their journey. When it comes to goal setting, I start where the client is, tailoring treatment on a case-by-case basis. My first sessions are light and focused on getting to know each other, building rapport, and establishing trust. Typically, the initial session involves finding common ground and identifying areas to work on in treatment.
