Getting to know Colleen Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Colleen! My name is Colleen Hernandez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Psychology from Hope International University (HIU). For the past 12 years, I have been assisting individuals in improving their quality of life through therapy. I enjoy exploring any issues that might be impacting clients' ability to get in touch with their true selves. My approach I use a variety of approaches and tools to meet each individual's needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My focus I enjoy working with adults who are struggling with life transitions, codependency, women's issues, anxiety, stress, and depression. My goal is to help improve relationships with self and others. My communication style I engage with my clients using an open, direct, and authentic communication style. I want to meet clients where they are, understand their needs, and provide honest feedback. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist 12 years ago after decades of working in the mental health field. I like to use my experience and passion to help others grow personally and spiritually. I find it an honor to help others along their path of self-discovery and growth. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is collaborative, beginning with listening to you, identifying problems, and setting goals together. My first session with you In the first session, you can expect to answer questions so I can better understand you, build rapport, establish goals, and manage expectations of therapy. The process is collaborative; as much as I want to get to know you, I also want to make sure I am a good fit for you.
