Getting to know Carissa Hernandez

Hello, I'm Carissa Hernandez, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. With over 11 years of experience in the field, including 3 years in a clinical and private setting, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges. My journey in therapy has allowed me to work with clients facing depression, anxiety, self-confidence issues, relationship struggles, and more. In our sessions, I utilize a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe in the power of these approaches to foster meaningful change and growth. Occasionally, I might provide homework to help you achieve your desired goals and reinforce what we discuss in our sessions. I specialize in working with adolescents and teens, managing ADHD, anger, stress, family relationships, and grief. My goal is to create a supportive and understanding environment where you feel heard and empowered. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I am here to support you every step of the way. My work hours are generally in the afternoons on weekdays, but I can accommodate weekend sessions upon request. I also make it a point to check messages a few times throughout the day, ensuring that I am accessible to my clients when they need me. I look forward to partnering with you through SonderMind to help you achieve your mental health goals. Let's work together to navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories. Feel free to reach out and take the first step towards a brighter future.
