Getting to know Kristina Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Kristina! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University. I employ a holistic approach to therapy, integrating experiential methods, psychosomatic techniques, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My practice focuses on addressing trauma, anxiety, stressors, and depression, guiding clients toward healing and personal growth. My approach My therapeutic approach is holistic, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. I integrate experiential therapy, engaging clients in activities that connect them with nature and their environment, which reduces stress and improves mental well-being. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering psychological flexibility. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is employed to process and alleviate distress from traumatic memories. Incorporating psychosomatic techniques, I address the connection between mind and body, recognizing that physical sensations influence emotional experiences and vice versa. This comprehensive approach promotes healing and personal growth by addressing the whole person. My focus I specialize in working with clients facing challenges including trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and adjustment disorders. My holistic therapeutic approach is tailored to these diverse issues, aiming to foster healing and growth. My communication style In therapy sessions, I create a warm and supportive environment that fosters healing and growth. By adopting a client-centered approach, I prioritize your unique needs and experiences, ensuring our work aligns with your personal journey. I often use metaphors to facilitate deeper understanding and insight.
