Getting to know Vanessa Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 3+ years of experience providing therapeutic services to a wide range of populations with multiple clinical and psychosocial needs. My practice is a safe space that welcomes anyone looking for help and support in overcoming personal challenges. My focus My passion is to assist individuals in overcoming debilitating symptoms, destructive behaviors, poor boundaries, and/or negative thoughts processes to help improve navigating daily living and achieve quality of life by engaging them in processing, introspection/reflection, exploration, problem-solving, and empowerment. My approach I use a person-centered and trauma-informed care approach to create a welcoming and genuine space where the client feels, seen, heard, and understood. My communication style My tone is calm, empathic, transparent, assertive, and humorous when appropriate. My journey to mental healthcare Being a therapist was not my top career choice when I initially graduated from my MSW program, because I had 8 years of case management experience in social services and got used to fast paced work. However; after I started working as a therapist in a clinic and saw clients recovering from our work, I realized it was my calling. My goals for you Treatment goals are mutually established and tailored to client's needs, strengths, and cultural factors. I view myself as the co-pilot of this process who strongly believes in the capacity and resiliency of my clients all while respecting their self-determination and dignity. Our first session In the first session I focus mainly on engagement and building rapport by greeting my clients, getting to know them, introducing myself, and forming a genuine therapeutic alliance.
