Hi there, I'm Daniel! Hi! My name is Daniel Fernandez, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in San Diego, California. I hold a Master’s degree in Multicultural Counseling from San Diego State University. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults (12-30 years old) who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, career stressors, trauma, relationship conflict, and substance use. My approach Life can feel like a whirlwind of emotions, changes, and challenges. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where young people can explore their thoughts and build resilience. With warmth, empathy, and practical tools, I support clients in managing anxiety, navigating relationships, and finding their unique paths in a complex world. Together, we’ll build confidence, cope with stress, and foster self-discovery—so they can thrive now and in the future. My focus I work with adolescents and young adults navigating life’s unique challenges, from building self-confidence to processing past traumas. Many clients seek support for depression and anxiety, feeling stuck or overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions. My goal is to empower young people to overcome struggles and feel more in control of their lives. My communication style My style is open and personable. With years of experience in hospitality before becoming a therapist, I am confident in building a comfortable and trusting relationship with you. My journey to mental healthcare As an Asian-American, I believe cultural and systemic factors impact mental well-being. Our early experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world. Through my own struggles and therapy journey, I learned the power of caring for mental health. This inspired me to help others by becoming a therapist.
