Getting to know Irma Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Irma! Hello! Hola! My name is Irma Hernandez. I am a bilingual first-generation Mexican-American licensed clinical social worker. I earned a master’s degree in social work from California State University Long Beach with a focus on integrated health. I specialize in helping people find themselves and feel better with effective coping skills. I have experience working with children, adults, and families. My specialty areas include helping people cope with depression, stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood difficulties, people-pleasing, and so much more. My approach I use a client-centered approach to therapy while incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques. My focus I specialize in parenting, family, and relationships. I work on addressing stress that comes with life transitions and relationship changes throughout the lifespan. My communication style I am a friendly person willing to listen to all your concerns and needs. I want my clients to feel that therapy is a safe environment where they may address anything they want without feeling judged. I will praise you for seeking therapy and choosing to take care of your mental health. My journey to mental healthcare As a first-generation Mexican American, I was always my parents’ social worker, advocating for them and fighting for their rights, needs, and justice. At a young age, I knew that I wanted to be in a helping field. My experience in mental health eventually led me to understand that helping people address their past and current struggles through talk therapy makes a huge impact on their lives. My goals for you I encourage clients to prioritize and set their goals in a collaborative manner. I will always have the client be the captain of this therapeutic ship. I will assist and guide the client via therapeutic interventions to help meet their goals and continue to sail through life.
