Getting to know Maria Hernandez

I’m a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting adults, adolescents, couples, and families through life’s challenges. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or major life transitions such as grief or loss, I provide a safe and culturally sensitive space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and family systems work to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect. Together, we’ll explore both root causes and actionable tools—so you not only gain insight but also build practical coping strategies, healthier boundaries, and confidence in your ability to create change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients often describe me as patient, empathetic, and deeply supportive. I believe trust is the foundation of any successful therapeutic relationship, and I walk alongside my clients every step of the way. Whether we’re strengthening family communication, helping teens regulate emotions, or guiding couples through conflict toward reconnection, my goal is always the same: to help you feel empowered and understood.
