Teresa Hernandez

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


My name is Teresa Hernandez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have 20+ years working with Mental Health and Substance Abuse challenges.

I love working with adults and youth ages 11-80. I have worked with many modalities such DBT, CBT, Anger Management, Crisis intervention, Suicide Prevention, and Substance Abuse. I've worked with clients from many walks of life and with varied needs.

I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work at the University of Wyoming. Wyoming is my home state. It is filled with wildlife and the worst snow you can image. I moved to Colorado in 2010 to continue my quest for helping others. Many years ago, someone helped me and I having been giving back for more than 20+ years. Together, we will develop a comprehensive plan so that you can get the tools you need to help you reach your goals. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and for that I appreciate you. Please contact me to see if we're a good fit.

Tawny Meyers

Tawny Meyers

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


Let's face it: life can be an absolute rollercoaster. Sometimes you're coasting smoothly, and sometimes you're staring straight down a terrifying drop. If you're feeling overwhelmed by a crisis, suffocated by anxiety or depression, tangled up in family issues, or burned out by occupational stress, you don't have to white-knuckle it alone.

I’m Tawny Meyers, and I specialize in meeting people exactly where they are—especially when they feel like they're standing in the middle of a messy pile of problems. I believe the most effective therapy is built on a foundation of genuine connection, warmth, and, yes, a little bit of humor. We’ll definitely laugh sometimes, because let's be honest, if we can't find a way to laugh, we're probably crying.

John Kubai

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


I believe meaningful change happens when people feel understood, supported, and empowered. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I meet you where you are and tailor our work to your goals, values, and lived experience. Rather than a one-size-fits-all method, I focus on what will be most helpful and sustainable for you.

My style is warm, grounded, and practical. Clients often describe me as thoughtful, easy to talk to, and direct in a compassionate way. I create a space where you can be honest without judgment, ask questions, and explore challenges at your own pace. I balance insight and reflection with actionable strategies you can apply in real life.

One of my strengths is helping clients gain clarity when things feel overwhelming or stuck. I’m skilled at identifying patterns, simplifying complex issues, and turning insight into forward movement. Whether we’re working on growth, healing, decision-making, or skill-building, my goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and aligned with yourself.

If you’re looking for a professional who is engaged, respectful, and genuinely invested in your progress, I’d be glad to work with you.
