Dr. Saavedra Hernandez is excited to welcome new clients and foster healing through her compassionate, evidence-based approach. As a licensed psychologist with extensive experience, her main focus is on children, adolescents, and young adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, trauma, and sleep issues. Her dedication extends to supporting chronically ill youth and their families as they navigate diagnoses and treatment. Clients seek her guidance to find balance, build resilience, and achieve a fulfilling life amidst their struggles.
Dr. Saavedra Hernandez is a bilingual Spanish-speaking psychologist who employs a culturally sensitive, collaborative, and empathetic approach to support individuals in their healing journey and goals. In addition to her role at Therapy Lab Kids, she is also a pediatric psychologist at CHOC Children’s Hospital of Orange County.
Dr. Saavedra Hernandez is originally from the Central Coast of California; however, she’s lived in Southern California for a little over a decade now. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, trying new delicious cuisines, going on nature walks, and exploring new genres of music.
