Getting to know Stanley Fernandez
As a new client, you can expect patience, understanding, and a collaborative presence with calming responses tailored to your needs. Together, we will embark on a goal-oriented therapeutic journey that tracks, monitors, and highlights your progress.
My approach to this journey is integrative, grounded in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. I also incorporate elements of positive psychology and other techniques as appropriate to each client's unique needs. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University, which informs and strengthens my commitment to providing effective, compassionate care.
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.

It was just intake session today but the energy felt safe and non-judgemental.

Smart therapy PC is confusing to work with. I had an emergency as I am currently in a health crisis. Therefore I called to reschedule and they tried to offer me another therapist which has happened three other times.
