Getting to know Tabitha Hernandez

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California. I work with clients in person in Carlsbad, CA, and statewide via Telehealth. I believe in empathetic listening, transparency, and empowerment as a means to unravel inner conflict. Inner conflict is often the underlying cause for “stuck points”. If you feel like you’re spinning in circles despite great efforts, we may want to assess for any inner conflict that may be present. The inner conflict is one that is happening between “parts”. What are "parts"? Inner Parts- Not Multiple Personalities- Rather a “sum of one unified whole”. Most of us have parts, and it does not mean that you have different selves, but rather that you are human. Working with your inner parts allows you to uncover the most beautiful elements of yourself that have often been buried. When unleashed, you access a newfound ability to shine, connect, and relate to self, others, and the world. “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi My approach I have a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, integrating conventional and holistic therapeutic modalities. I encourage mind-body-oriented integrative methods in providing counseling, mental health, and wellness approaches. My approach is to reveal the barriers we build in attempts to protect ourselves from childhood and adult relationship traumas. I provide guidance as to why these mind and body defenses are no longer necessary and block us from what we truly desire in this lifetime; As we develop across the life course, these barriers and defense mechanisms oftentimes result in more suffering than protection. I believe we need to work with our inner parts through a lens of curiosity and self-compassion. My intention is to collaboratively uncover the most beautiful elements of yourself that have often been buried and misunderstood.
