Giovanni Hernandez, LICSW — Therapist in Alabama

Hi there, I'm Giovanni!

I’m truly glad you’re exploring support. You deserve a safe, supportive space where you can be heard, understood, and guided toward meaningful change.

My focus

I work with adults, teens, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, trauma, substance use, cultural stress, and relationship or family challenges — offering a compassionate space to feel understood and supported.

My approach

I prioritize trust, connection, and collaboration. Together, we explore your experiences, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical strategies that align with your goals. My style is flexible and tailored — what works for one person doesn’t always work for another.

My communication style

Communication is extremely important as we work together. I aim to build trust with you to tackle life's challenges. At times, things may get uncomfortably challenging, which can result in great growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own early experience with therapy showed me the impact of compassionate support — and inspired my commitment to helping others feel seen and empowered. I’m especially drawn to helping people work through trauma and the ways it shows up in everyday life.

My goals for you

We work together to establish a treatment plan focusing on you and your desires for therapy. As we work through things, targets may change as things come to the surface, and we can adapt the plan to best reflect you.

Our first session

In our first conversation, we’ll get to know each other, explore what brought you here, and begin shaping a treatment plan that reflects your hopes for therapy. Let’s work toward your goals together.
