Katherine Hernandez, MS, LMHC

Life has so many ups and downs. It can be a relief to know that you have a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

Many of my specializations are related to challenges I have experienced myself. This has fueled my passion for helping others who are going through similar struggles, and allows me to provide a unique perspective and a deep understanding of what you may be going through. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to be trapped in your own mind and unable to break free from the cycle of worry and fear. I know firsthand what it’s like to feel parts of yourself break away with old relationships, what it takes to reconnect with yourself, and how it feels to have the best brought out in you by having the right support in your life. I know that with the right tools and encouragement, it is possible to find peace and live a fulfilling life.

It is my belief that increasing our self-awareness is the greatest tool we have for personal growth, so this is something I will tie into our work often. My approach is personalized and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based methods to assist you in exploring the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as to assist you in practicing mindfulness, acceptance (when appropriate), and making meaningful changes in your life based on your values.

My hope is to help you learn tools that will build your confidence in leading the life you want.

I'm honored to be a part of your journey!

When I’m not working, I enjoy engaging in hobbies that allow me to use my hands or express myself creatively. For that reason, cooking and crafts are a couple of my favorite pastimes. I find them very meditative! I also enjoy playing computer games, and spending time with my pets and loved ones.

I believe that pursuing hobbies and leisure activities is an essential part of maintaining good mental health. I encourage my clients to do the same and assist them with this if they wish.
