Getting to know Michelle Hernandez

Hi! I am Michelle. Do you get frustrated and down by life stressors? Do you want someone to bounce ideas off of when you are in a rut? Have you lost someone or something special in your life? I am here to help. I start where you start and go on the journey with you. I like to keep sessions conversational and interactive. We will focus on getting you to be the best version of yourself both mentally and physically to achieve overall wellness. I work from a solution-focused background and will empower you to make decisions and changes that you are comfortable making on your own timeline. Together, we can develop a relationship based on trust and safety that will allow you to grow and progress. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Pepperdine University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively on your path to wellness.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I create a safe and comfortable environment where you can be open and honest. I want you to leave sessions knowing you have someone on your side, rooting for your success.

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.
