My mission as a therapist is to assist clients in accessing their inner wisdom to form a meaningful response to the challenges that arise in life. I believe relationship is a channel through which great healing can occur and it is often through the therapeutic relationship that this healing can begin. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups who are struggling with a variety of issues that include depression, anxiety, relationship impasse and eating disorders. Please feel free to contact me with any questions if you feel I may be of assistance.

Hi, how are you...really? this question is often asked and not answered openly, how do you respond? Does anyone ask you sincerely? Especially since the pandemic (and before) this topic has been a common theme I hear in talking to people, people like you. My goal is to ask meaningful questions, listen and develop useful techniques with you for more effective coping and communication.

I most enjoy working with you, someone motivated to improve. I’ll help you cope effectively with depression, anxiety, bipolar, and trauma disorders and I have for 20 years. You’re individual, couple, family, or groups. Adolescents and adults are preferred. I will help you with stress, horrifying traumas, deaths, diagnoses. Struggling with perinatal mood difficulties, eating disorders? I can help. I’ll teach you skills that enable and empower you to feel happy, stable, and independent again. I’m published on Amazon as Erica L Hernandez. My book is apocalyptic: Evasion, which addresses how to cope with grief.

I absolutely LOVE my career choice, and I enjoy working with people of all ages. I have found that I enjoy helping people with almost any issue with which they may be struggling, and I believe in meeting a person where they are. I use a strengths-based approach to assist my clients in resolving issues, and I believe strongly that each individual is the expert in his/her/their own life, and therefore very capable of making any necessary adjustments/changes. Sometimes each of us simply needs someone to help us through the process.

I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for the work and processes we engage in together. By creating a safe environment to explore collaboratively, I help build a sense of confidence, honesty, and mutual trust with clients. My approach is grounded in authenticity, awareness, heart, humor and understanding, augmented by decades of training, education, and experience.

Tell me your story in person or by telehealth (video or telephone). The Hide Away Project is a safe place for people to get help moving past feeling stuck, in pain and experiencing loneliness. Being human means searching for and finding what we want out of life. I believe change is the key to solving some of life's difficulties. Yet, change takes looking at things in a different way that can be difficult when feeling overwhelmed. This is where I can be helpful collaborating with you to develop a sense of self awareness to emotions, thoughts, behavior and the creation of strengths, resources and coping skills to manage your life.
