Getting to know Teresa Hernandez

Life can get overwhelming sometimes, and what we may need is someone to listen and help us work through those life challenges. I identify as a Latina, female therapist who is bilingual (English/Spanish). I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults of diverse cultural backgrounds. I believe in providing a safe, secure, and calming space. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches, including a strengths-based approach, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, meditation, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Northridge.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My areas of expertise include 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.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We are all individuals with unique life challenges. I go into my sessions with curiosity, sensitivity, and understanding. I strive to provide a safe space where you can freely express the challenges you are experiencing at this time. My goal is to empower you to be the best version of yourself and accomplish your short and long-term goals.
