The concept of therapy can be intimidating; it requires us to be vulnerable and face difficulties within our own selves. Add in life’s constant changes and stressors outside of our control, and it can make for a formidable challenge. But asking for help should not feel like a weakness or a failure. Therapy can provide a safe atmosphere for people to explore and build skills towards tackling life’s problems.
My name is Daphny Hernandez and I strongly believe that everyone is deserving of a balanced and fulfilling life. As a trained counselor, I strive to help others overcome obstacles, gain empowerment and self-esteem, and learn from mistakes to better themselves in their future endeavors. I approach the therapeutic relationship with respect and honesty, shaping my methods and interventions to best fit a client’s needs and desires. I use an integrative counseling approach which focuses on meeting a client where they are on their therapeutic journey.
I have experience in multiple areas including: anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with teens, young adults and adults. Additionally, I specialize in life transitions, self-esteem building, LGBTQ+, emotional regulation, cultural influences and dynamics, and family relationships for teens. I am also bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish and can provide services in whichever language a client is most comfortable in.
Using a person-centered model along with elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based techniques, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I focus on working together as a team to help you learn and develop skills, strengthen mindsets, and build foundations for further growth towards your goals.
My overall goal as a counselor is to help create a trusting and comfortable environment where a person can be themselves and embark on a therapeutic journey towards self-discovery. I am committed to creating a positive therapeutic alliance where we work as a team towards uncovering your full potential.
