Accepting new clients! Even on your best days, it’s tough looking for a therapist who will be the right fit for you. When suffering, it can sometimes feel nearly impossible. I understand this experience firsthand and hope that my profile will provide you with the information you need to find relief. As a Latinx single mother, embracing and embodying Hispanic culture is a core value of mine. Having raised my children without the presence of a second parent, I have experienced juggling work and parenting.

For some, the idea of starting therapy can feel a bit intimidating. From the start, I strive to create a comfortable space where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. Listening to the wants and needs of my clients is extremely important to me, and I believe a requirement of successful treatment.

Working from this foundation of trust and respect, change can and does happen.

I specialize in addressing concerns related to OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life adjustment issues.

Before beginning my career as a therapist, I spent several years working in various sectors of the entertainment industry. This experience gave me a keen understanding of the many issues individuals in the field face. I seek to use my experience to help other professionals navigate the complexities and common issues seen within the business.

From helping adolescents cope with big life situations and transitions, to facilitating individual/group mental health services for adults; helping people experience lasting change and true recovery with self and others are the core values in my psychotherapy practice.

Having worked with diverse populations with varying emotional needs, I understand that building trust, providing safety, and being open is imperative to promoting change.

I also offer Christian Counseling for couples who are struggling in their marriages due to the state of our nation.

Regardless of how you got there, therapy can be a safe place to figure things out, get unstuck, & move forward towards a better life. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents on the everyday problems that get in the way of really living life.

Are you feeling stuck and yearning for change? Would you like to go on a journey of self-discovery, explore your full potential, and discover the possibility of radical change? Hi, My name is Juan Carlos Fernández and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker. I have been in practice since 2017, helping people resolve issues related to depression, anxiety, phobias, identity issues, substance dependence, geriatric issues, grief and loss, stress, self-esteem, and family conflict issues.

I work with adults over 18 years old. I help with finding ways of coping with, navigating and finding solutions to many of life's difficult situations that arise during the course of adulthood and may cause overwhelming feelings of insecurity, depression and anxiety. I can help with improving self esteem, confidence, and overcoming depression, anxiety and stress. I can help with issues that arise from old or newer difficulties related but not limited to family, romantic, work, college, career and parenting issues. My goal is to help my clients find the solutions or coping mechanism that works for them.

If you're looking for another therapist who just sits there with a note pad and every once in a while asks, "and how did that make you feel?” – you’ve got the wrong guy. If what you actually need is a relational, interactive therapist, who will offer you feedback, clarity and suggestions on how to improve your experience of living, then you’ve found your man. The work of healing is a deeply personal pursuit, one that requires looking inward with vulnerability, and my job is to guide and support that process of growth. I can help to point you in the directions where personal insight, progress, and development are possible.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? You're not alone. You've got more strength inside you than you might realize, and I'm here to help you reconnect with it. In my practice, I strive to create a nurturing environment for my clients—a safe space where you can explore your emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we'll gently navigate through the challenges you're facing, uncover valuable insights and develop strategies to help you cope. Whatever you're going through, I'm here to offer you compassion and support as you journey towards healing and growth. You don't have to face this alone.

I have found particular interest in working with children, adolescents, parents, and athletes using a CBT framework for treating a variety of problems. My services include individual therapy for children and adolescents, parent training, mental skills training and community outreach. I use learning theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and DBT in conjunction with cultural and contextual factors to provide a tailored approach to treatment that balances the individual’s (or family’s) clinical and personal needs. My strengths lie in building strong, compassionate, collaborative relationships, which are the basis of therapy.
