Getting to know Stanley Fernandez

As a new client, expect patience, understanding, and a collaborative presence with calming responses to meet the need. One can expect a goal-oriented therapeutic journey that looks to track, monitor, and highlight its progress. My therapeutic approach to achieve this journey is an integrative approach with the focus of evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavior therapy, exposure therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Hints of positive psychology and other practices are utilized depending on the need of the client

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our therapy, we work to learn the root of the problem and its negative impact on our life. We grow to process and optimize the best quality of life through this journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
