Getting to know Julissa Hernandez
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with six years of experience supporting individuals from young adulthood through later life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and hope. My approach is deeply patient-centered—I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of every person I work with. My priority is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with their strengths on the path toward healing and personal growth.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current concerns, personal history, and goals, while also giving you space to share what feels most important to you. My goal in the first session is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. We’ll also talk about how therapy works, what you can expect in future sessions, and any questions or concerns you have about the process.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is its foundation in compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences at their own pace. By blending a patient-centered approach with evidence-based methods, clients often notice meaningful changes—greater self-awareness, improved coping skills, and an increased sense of confidence and resilience.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
