Getting to know Josephine Fernandez

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults around their mental health needs. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. Through therapy, I help clients experience relief from feelings of shame, relationship struggles, career frustrations, anxiety, depression, and inner criticism.
