Great to meet you!

Hi there! I’m Adelina Hernandez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), currently working toward my Doctorate in Social Work. I work with people from all walks of life who are navigating challenges like stress, big life changes, women’s health issues, relationship ups and downs, substance use, drug distribution, and more. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward.

I also bring a culturally aware lens to our work, honoring the diverse identities and backgrounds that shape who you are. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and clinical expertise, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

My approach to therapy

I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client, recognizing that no two individuals are the same. Clients often describe me as personable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Therapy should feel like a partnership, where your voice leads the way, and together we uncover insights that foster healing and growth. I integrate person-centered, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies to meet your unique needs.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I just want to get to know you—what you're into, what you need, and what helps you feel supported. I’d love to hear about the things you do to take care of yourself, what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and what kind of approach feels right for you. I know opening up can take time, and that’s totally okay. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and heard. We’ll work together on whatever matters most to you.
