Getting to know Kristine Fernandez

My name is Kristine Fernandez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the beautiful and sunny state of California. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I have worked with all ages and specialize in trauma-informed care by using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic therapy to help my clients understand patterns and build hope within themselves and others. My approach My therapeutic approach is based on the understanding that trauma impacts everyone differently, and being vulnerable enough to talk to someone provides the opportunity to increase awareness and insight. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic therapy, I aim to empower my clients to make progress by highlighting strengths and accepting changes at their own pace. My focus My style and approach to therapy are a good fit for teens and adults who have experienced trauma and present symptoms such as feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed as a result. I specialize in helping clients understand trauma responses while formulating a plan to create healthier thoughts and behavior patterns that foster positivity. My communication style My communication style is calm, transparent, accepting, and hopeful. I create a safe and supportive environment in sessions where clients feel comfortable expressing what is on their mind and are encouraged to see the best in themselves. My journey to mental healthcare My journey as a therapist began when I recognized my ability to actively listen to others and provide a calm presence that creates hope for self and others. I am trustworthy and empathetic toward others’ perspectives while being assertive with clients about trying methods that feel comfortable and maximize benefits. Every relationship is truly different, and having a therapist who believes in your ability to create positive changes for life is phenomenal.
