Getting to know Teresa Hernandez

I prefer to blend a variety of treatment modalities based on where the client is. Beginning with Narrative Therapy, I focus on the client's story about their life. Exploring the stories we tell supports externalizing issues and empowers the client to deconstruct the story and create a new account. This allows them to no longer operate from the previous narrative of what is and what is not in this space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is then used to modify and change cognition that affects behavioral patterns-gradually moving over to Solution-Focused Therapy, which helps clarify goals, vision, and intention. I also integrate life coaching techniques with Experiential Therapy to build self-esteem and help clients reach their goals through committed action. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California, which has equipped me with the skills to tailor these approaches effectively to each individual's needs.
