Getting to know Teresa Hernandez

Hi, my name is Teresa Hernandez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. My expertise includes childhood and adult trauma, anxiety, adjustment challenges, intimate partner violence, depression, life coaching, behavioral concerns, boundary setting, self-esteem, and social difficulties. I have a long history of supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and individuals with lifelong traumas. My approach I use a variety of therapeutic methods, including strengths-based approaches, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, meditation, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My focus I work with adolescents, adults, Veterans, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. My communication style As a Latina, female, bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I provide a safe, secure, and calming space. I approach sessions with curiosity, sensitivity, and understanding, aiming for you to feel heard and supported. My journey to mental healthcare I am humbled daily by my clients’ strength and resilience. I became a therapist to help and support others by listening, providing guidance, and collaborating to achieve short- and long-term goals. My goals for you I aim to empower you to be your best self and support you in reaching your goals. I believe in letting you set your goals—short or long term—and working together on steps to accomplish them. My first session with you In our first session, we’ll take it easy and get to know each other. You can share the challenges you’re facing and any goals you want to work toward.
