Getting to know Thomas (Tomas) Hernandez

I am a dedicated and licensed professional with an LMSW in Missouri and Kansas and an LCSW in Utah. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. With over 8 years of experience as a certified peer support specialist, I am passionate about providing compassionate therapy to a diverse client base, including adolescents, adults, couples, families, and seniors. Throughout my career as a social worker, I have held numerous roles; currently, I serve as a therapist. In addition to my therapeutic work, I bring extensive coaching experience in cross country and track and field at various educational levels. I have also served as a sports performance coach, focusing on enhancing athletes' skills, mental resilience, and competitive edge. My commitment to helping individuals achieve their personal and athletic goals is at the heart of my coaching philosophy. Additionally, I provide tailored sports performance coaching and consulting for clients at all levels and settings, including youth/club sports, high school, collegiate, professional, semiprofessional, and Olympic/Paralympic athletes. My Approach I take a holistic approach that is eclectic and multifaceted, blending multiple evidence-based practices to meet individual needs. I prioritize a strength-based perspective, skillfully integrating dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide effective strategies. Furthermore, I believe in person-centered and trauma-informed care, incorporating techniques from somatic therapy, meditation, and mindfulness to foster healing and personal growth. I am also trained as an equine psychotherapist and yoga therapist/teacher. My Focus I have experience working with middle to late adolescents, adults, and seniors. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, religious trauma, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use issues.
