Melissa Hernandez

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for 9 years. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health from California State University, Fullerton. Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with individuals in crisis who pose a danger to themselves, others, or are gravely disabled. I have extensive experience helping people manage a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidal tendencies.

I am empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental, and I approach each individual with unconditional positive regard. Additionally, I strive to gently challenge my patients, helping them to deepen their insight and self-awareness.

I aim to empower my clients, fostering motivation and hope so they feel equipped to apply the skills they've learned to lead a more productive and fulfilling life
