Getting to know Nelva Hernandez

I am Nelva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) currently living and providing services in Northern Virginia. Raised in Washington, DC, I completed my studies, including my Master’s in Social Work at Howard University. I understand the importance and courage of seeking professional help, especially when there is such a stigma associated with mental health. I believe in utilizing evidence-based practices to help individuals cope with mental health challenges in a meaningful way.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a therapist, I will provide you with a therapeutic environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe. I will help you process emotions and offer insight into your experiences, coping skills, and dialogue on ways to handle issues, while using evidence-based treatment(s).
