I'm Dr. Tyler Elizabeth Hernandez. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist at an independent private practice located in beautiful Florida. I am now licensed in Indiana and can provide telehealth services to clients residing in IN. As a trauma specialist, I believe it is crucial to meet you where you are and to empower you to take back control over your life. You may be struggling with various complex issues simultaneously and may feel confused on how or where to start making changes. Together, you and I will navigate the chaos, find your inner peace, and foster your resilience with the ultimate goal of functioning and feeling better.

As your therapist, I hope to provide a space for ALL of you, your joy, pain, fear, courage, and compassion. I began my love of therapy first as a client working through my own lived traumas. I spent a lot of time with therapists who didn’t look or have experiences like me. I found relief, but I never felt the depth I needed to heal. This inspired me to become a therapist. I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowen Family System and Trauma-Informed models in my healing work with a focus on Decolonial and Indigenous frameworks. I have lived experiences with the immigration, prison, foster care, correctional, and mental health systems.

Families can sometimes get stuck in destructive behavior patterns that affect all the members in different ways. When challenges arise either individually or as a whole, everyone is impacted and shares in the struggle. I embrace the power of the family unit. Throughout the therapeutic process, various forms of experiential and cognitive therapy will be woven into family sessions. Allowing the family to talk more freely and use creative forms of expression with one another can deepen the family's experience of each other and their own selves; thereby increasing understanding, enhancing communication pathways, and improving the overall relationship.
