Getting to know Carmen Hernandez
Hi there, I'm Carmen!
Hi, I’m so happy you’re here! I’m Carmen and I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor. I've been in the mental health profession for almost ten years and in my practice, I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who aspire to cultivate a more fulfilling day-to-day experience. My passion lies in aiding individuals who seek increased motivation, reduced anxiety, the breaking of unhealthy habits, enhanced communication with others, and a range of other transformative goals.
My approach
At the core of my therapeutic philosophy is the concept of aligning values, beliefs, actions, and goals. I recognize that achieving this alignment is a unique journey for everyone, and as a therapist, I am dedicated to offering unwavering support and guidance throughout this process. I integrate various therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focus, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Person-Centered therapy.
My focus
I treat adults and adolescents and specialize in issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and parenting.
My communication style
Initiating change in our lives can evoke a range of emotions—from apprehension to excitement. Yet, I am steadfast in my belief that every individual possesses the capacity to effect meaningful change, notwithstanding these feelings. I work alongside clients to identify and establish realistic goals, offering encouragement and motivation as they progress toward realizing their aspirations.
My first session with you
During our initial session, we'll establish a comfortable and safe space for you to share your concerns. We'll explore your therapeutic goals and discuss the most effective treatment approach for your unique needs. This will involve a combination of active listening, reflective questioning, and collaborative goal-setting to create a personalized treatment plan.
