Getting to know Michele Hernandez

I am Michele, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience in the field. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago. I enjoy working with older teens and adults who are hoping to improve their relationships, find some joy in life, and increase self-awareness. I like to help people lower their stress, set boundaries with others, and work through difficult times.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Are you struggling in some way and wondering if you should try therapy? At some point, everyone will experience a time in their life when they need help. Whether you are looking to learn ways to decrease stress and cope with life's ups and downs, have a more positive relationship with your kids or partner, or navigate a difficult issue, therapy is a good place to start. Whether concerns are bit or small, talking to someone can help you gain insight into what is working and not working in your life. Your life can e less stressful, you can figure out the how and why, and it starts with a consultation with a therapist.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
