I am Bernadette Hernandez, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Connecticut with more than 7 years of experience. I work with children, adolescents, and individuals seeking help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, peer relationship issues, mood disturbances, and stress management issues.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Mental Health, and continued my education by earning my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, both from Southern Connecticut State University.
I create a safe therapeutic space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported while working to navigate through life’s challenges. During times of high stress, anxiety, and uncertainty, my approach is warm and caring, as I encourage open communication, collaboration, and active participation in a safe and supportive environment.
