Getting to know Ernesto Hernandez

Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward healing and self-discovery. I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to begin this process, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I work with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and past trauma. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in your unique experiences and goals. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore, reflect, and grow. When you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you. I take a client-centered approach, which means our work is guided by your unique goals, values, and experiences. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and integrate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and healthy coping strategies. I also draw from solution-focused techniques to highlight strengths and create practical, forward-moving steps. For couples or relationship-focused work, I incorporate principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection. Each session is tailored to meet you where you are — with a focus on growth, resilience, and meaningful progress. Have you been feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, sadness, or self-doubt? I work with adults, young adults, and veterans navigating life transitions, adjustment challenges, and the lasting effects of trauma or adverse childhood experiences. Whether you're managing anxiety, processing difficult life events, or working through relationship and interpersonal struggles, I offer a safe and supportive space to help you feel grounded and empowered. My approach is client-centered and tailored to your unique needs.
