Valerie is the best therapist I've ever spoken with, and there have been a lot. She is kind and an amazing listener who shows no judgement while she's holding space for you to talk. Her level of empathy and ability to make her clients feel safe is unparalleled.

More about Valerie Hernandez, LMSW
Are you waking up each day feeling the weight of the world pressing down on your shoulders, suffocating you with anxiety and uncertainty? Struggling to find your footing in a constantly shifting world? It's okay to admit you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, and exhausted by the endless battle against your own mind.
I understand the deep pain of feeling trapped in anxiety, unable to break free from trauma's grip. It's a heavy burden, made heavier by societal expectations weighing on you like a leaden cloak. The struggle with body image, self-esteem, and identity can leave you drowning in self-doubt, unable to see a glimmer of light.
But you’re not alone. As a therapist specializing in empowering individuals and addressing women’s issues, I offer a lifeline of hope and support. Together, we can face these challenges, knowing healing is possible, even in the darkest times.
With a deep understanding of social and systemic influences shaping mental health, I’ll walk alongside you as we unravel your anxiety and trauma. We’ll explore evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, shining a light on the path toward healing and growth.
I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Barry University and am a licensed Master Social Worker, dedicated to integrating social justice and equity principles into therapy. Your experiences, pain, and struggles are valid—they deserve to be heard, acknowledged, and honored in a safe, supportive space.
Let’s take that first step together, hand in hand, toward a brighter, more fulfilling future. By confronting your symptoms and problems head-on, we can unlock your potential for healing.

My very first visit with Ms. Hernandez was a great experience. I was so nervous because I was not sure what to expect. But she was very kind, very patient, listened very well and was so easy to talk to. She communicated clearly and I was not confused as to what to expect. I felt heard and also very hopeful with my healing journey. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Valerie has been a true pleasure to see every week. Being that she is my first therapist, I was very skeptical about the whole idea of attending. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting her, all of my anxieties surrounding therapy have dissipated. It has now been almost 5 months and I have no intentions of stopping any time soon. The kindest, most gentle, most patient person. Highly highly recommend!
