Hi, my name is Diana Hernandez and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I currently work through telehealth services providing individual therapy to adults. I specialize in helping clients cope with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and past trauma.
I work from a person-centered approach and place great value on the therapeutic relationship. I utilize authenticity and transparency in building rapport and trust with my clients. I also combine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy in treatment.
Therapy can be intimidating, so during that first session I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to openly talk about their thoughts and feelings. I explore the reason for coming to therapy and gather information regarding history of symptoms and behaviors. I listen attentively, validate feelings, and provide support throughout the process, as I know that it can be difficult to open up and share personal things.
