Getting to know Antonio Fernandez

Healing the soul wound. With over 40 years of experience, my approach is holistic to heal the soul wound created from past experiences, to heal in the present, and to live in balance in the future. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, bilingual (Spanish/ English) therapist. It is my experience as a therapist working with diverse cultures, whether the soul wound is created by family experiences, past trauma as a child or as an adult, clients can heal. My approach By listening to the client, we select the best holistic treatment option to address trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, including gambling, dissociative disorders, bipolar disorder, dual diagnosis, mood disorders, eating disorders, or cultural transition. My focus Healing the Hear and Soul requires the client and I to select a holistic approach and path to live in balance, in the language preferred by the client. My communication style My communication style is to listen to the client in order to help the client establish a path for healing the heart and soul caused by past grief, trauma, or significant soul wound. My journey to mental healthcare As a Native American growing up in a bicultural environment, my parents taught my siblings and me to use our traditions as well as Western ways to live and walk in balance. I have found our heart and soul may suffer from deep soul wounds. The deep sound wound whether from childhood or as an adult, creates a reality that control our life unless we take steps to change. The deep wound create a core belief systems that tells us: "we're not good enough; we're not lovable: no body wants us," etc . My role as a therapist is to help the client heal the heart and soul by helping the client change the core belief system in order to live in balance. My goals for you By listening to the client, selecting a healing path, the client and I may select from a variety of activities to use between sessions to address to heal the mind, emotion, intellect, and body.
