Timothy Hernandez
Drug & Alcohol Counselor, MSW, LADCI
New Bedford, MA 02740
Accepting New CT's and Spanish Speaking! Mental Health and Substance use has a stigma that can cause feelings of shame, guilt and loneliness. I'm a masters level clinician and I've been in the field for 18 years. Substance use happens for many reasons, such as seeking relief from depression, anxiety and other stressors in our lives. We turn to substances to make us feel better or to just numb our feelings. If you've tried to make changes in the past and feel like nothing has worked, maybe you just need some guidance. I can work with you at your pace. If you're reading this, it's time to make the call. Bilingual services available.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what feels heavy or difficult. I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, stress, or major life changes. My style is supportive, practical, and client-centered. I help clients explore what is getting in the way, strengthen coping skills, and move toward feeling more balanced, confident, and connected.
