Getting to know Larry Fernandez

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in mental health and recovery support for children and adults. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, life transitions, behavior modification, academic challenges, addiction recovery management, and grief & loss support. My approach to therapy is built on an eclectic orientation, incorporating psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and a strength-based approach. I work with children and adults, emphasizing mental health recovery, therapeutic coaching, and guidance through life transitions. My focus areas include depression, anxiety, behavior modification, academic challenges, addiction recovery management, and grief & loss support. Each session aims to provide a calming, judgment-free therapeutic environment where clients can connect, learn, and grow. My interest in mental healthcare stems from diverse personal experiences, family values, and my cultural upbringing. I hold a master’s degree in social work from California State University, Long Beach. Having lived in Ecuador, I am fluent in Spanish and approach all therapeutic work through a lens of cultural humility. My therapeutic approach involves assessing the client’s current experience and supporting them in identifying priority goals for treatment. During the first session, clients can expect a brief professional introduction, an opportunity to ask questions, participate in an assessment, and feel comfortable identifying specific areas of focus.
