Getting to know Maricela Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Maricela! Seeking therapy takes courage. As a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking therapist, I support adults and first-generation individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, familismo, and cultural identity. I provide a safe, affirming space to foster healing, growth, and self-understanding. My focus I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship conflicts. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. By meeting you where you are, I help foster resilience, deepen self-understanding, and support emotional well-being. My approach Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will explore life's challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and cultivate resilience to help you navigate difficulties with greater confidence and clarity. My communication style I believe therapy works best when it feels like an authentic dialogue. I offer thoughtful feedback, ask questions that encourage reflection, and work alongside you to uncover new perspectives. My hope is that our sessions feel collaborative, meaningful, and grounded in a genuine sense of connection—where you feel heard, understood, and supported. My journey to mental healthcare My therapy journey began while working with transitional-age youth in my community. Their resilience inspired my own healing journey, deepening my understanding of self-awareness, growth, and inner peace. These experiences continue to shape my work and fuel my passion for creating a safe, supportive space for personal growth. My goals for you Together, we’ll set goals that reflect what matters most to you, whether that’s improving relationships, strengthening self-esteem, navigating challenges, or creating meaningful change in your life.
