Getting to know Cynthia Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Cynthia! Life can be messy. Things don't always go the way we plan. When that happens, we can feel stuck. Stuck in anger, sadness, and frustration, which can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and feelings of helplessness, I believe that people have the ability and strength to cope with life's unexpected turns and disappointments. Sometimes, we need extra support and encouragement to understand and process our complex feelings and realize the potential and resilience that lies within us. My approach Therapy is a process, and everyone's journey looks a bit different. Based on your individual and unique situations and needs, together we will work to identify the current challenges and develop strategies to assist you in moving forward with confidence. I have an eclectic approach where I use cognitive behavioral therapy, a solution-focused approach, acceptance, mindfulness, and narrative therapy techniques to increase one's insight and awareness. My focus Have you been struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress due to a current life situation? I work with individuals to identify areas that aren't currently working in their lives. Whether you are dealing with a conflicted interpersonal relationship, job stressors, or trying to understand and unpack trauma, we will work together to strengthen your resilience, instill hope, and develop strategies to use when life feels overwhelming. My communication style I provide a safe, client-centered, non-judgmental, and caring space for individuals to process their feelings, strengthen their resources, and build effective coping skills to tackle the big and little stressors that come their way. I prioritize clear, open, and respectful communication as we work collaboratively towards meaningful progress on an individual's wellness goals. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to become a therapist began when I originally began my graduate studies to become a school counselor.
