Hi, I am Dr. Hernandez. I am a bilingual English-Spanish speaking therapist. Psychotherapy "talk therapy" to me is an evolving, supportive, and yes, at times challenging conversation(s) that can lead to personal growth and help you through life's stressors. I have experience working with individuals with symptoms of depression, trauma, anxiety, feelings of anger, and loss.

My style is collaborative, client-centered, positive-energy, and solution-focused. I support my clients in developing solutions based on their goals and aspirations. My ideal client is one who is willing to "go deep," to learn about aspects of personality, behavior, and character that can contribute to developing a more profound sense of joy and fulfillment. Many of my clients are searching for the meaning and purpose of their lives:exciting work! On a personal level, I am warm, caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I read widely and draw from the fields of neurobiology, sleep medicine, and addiction medicine.

As a human, I'm committed wholeheartedly to forming earnest, meaningful connections with others. As a therapist, I lead with compassion and curiosity so that we can develop a relationship of trust and honesty together. I will bring my full self to our work - including professional and personal growth and experience - to help us form a robust relationship to bear the pain of your trauma, better understand how you learned to adapt to the challenges of life, and find new awareness and perspective for how to find a more engaged and satisfying life experience.

Therapy can be a dynamic, interactive process of deepening your connection with yourself and others, exploring your identity, and redefining your life’s purpose. I am committed to supporting people who have decided to look inward, which can be a fascinating, challenging, and rewarding ongoing experience. I work with individuals and couples as they navigate transitions, consider life choices, search for meaning, process relational trauma, and learn to communicate more deeply. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive and/or are impacted by neurodiversity (ND individuals, ND/NT couples, and parents of ND kids/teens).

Maria Figueroa, LCSW 118205 I am dedicated to empowering and supporting others reach their mental health goals through the use of a variety of evidence-based practices, a holistic approach, and humor. My focus areas of practice include anxiety, depression, adjustment and life transitions, self-esteem, stress, and trauma.

A mentor of mine once said, “No one ever sits you down as a kid and warns you that this whole being a human thing is intense. Most of the time we all walk around pretending like it’s not a big deal.” This lack of preparation creates a profound disconnection that negatively affects mental health. In psychotherapy, I aim to work collaboratively with my clients in order to help them reconnect to the moment to moment experience of their life and improve their overall wellbeing.

Being a human is hard! Managing relationships (familial, romantic, platonic, professional) with all kinds of different personalities, feeling comfortable and confident in our careers, finding healthy and lasting love, and feeling good about ourselves through it all can feel like an impossible task. We were never given a manual on how to do this! And while, as humans, we are incredibly resilient and have somehow found a way to get this far, some of the coping mechanisms we have developed throughout our lives may not be serving us anymore. I help clients gain insight into their thoughts & behaviors to help improve their outcomes.

"What's madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance (Roethke, 1961)." It is likely that you will come to see me because you are suffering. I will help you understand the sources of your pain. Together we will discover how past coping behavior, although understandable and partially sustaining given the challenges of your life, may become limiting and a source of dysfunction. In a safe and professional relationship, I will assist you to change old rigid ways of thinking and behaving to embrace new flexible and balanced responding to foster success.

I offer a casual approach for those that might be a bit intimidated by the process of starting therapy.

As a queer, trauma-informed sex therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. Some areas that I am especially passionate about working with are anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamics, existential questioning, sexual trauma and chronic pain.

Who knows what exactly makes a certain therapist right for a specific client? I think I'm most successful when I listen to the client's needs and see discrepancies in what clients want and how they're going about getting it. We can understand and resolve conflicts in career and in relationships by learning the old ways you adopted when you were a kid that don't work so well now. Let me know if you need help balancing day-to-day day challenges with big 'what-am-I-doing-with-my-life' questions.

My style is collaborative and active, fostering a connection to client's unique skills and purposes that might appear out of reach. My process encourages the discovery of practices that promote self-awareness, confidence and better relationships.
