Getting to know Mayra Hernandez

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and having a space where you feel truly heard and understood can make all the difference. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you feel validated and empowered to make meaningful change. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with confidence. My approach My approach is strength-based and person-centered. I offer validation and listening while teaching mindfulness, coping strategies, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to address negative thoughts. That said, I adapt our work to meet your needs. I use a relaxed, approachable style that allows sessions to feel natural and conversational while remaining focused on your goals. My focus Throughout my career in community mental health, I’ve provided affirming, culturally responsive care for diverse populations, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. My clinical focus is on individual therapy, with an emphasis on treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficulties related to major life transitions. My communication style I strive to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental, and supportive space by listening with empathy, offering validation, and fostering understanding. While maintaining this supportive approach, I also address discrepancies when they arise, always seeking to understand before providing insight. Together, we will make sense of your experiences and identify practical steps that support meaningful change. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about how the mind works and how our lived experiences shape the decisions we make. As a Latina, I also want to help break the stigma around therapy in the Latin community and create a space where people feel represented and supported. From a young age, I found fulfillment in helping others, a value rooted in growing up in a large family where care and support were central.
