My name is Julie Hernandez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Fresno, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adult individuals and specialize in anxiety, depression, and stress, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength Based, and Trauma-focused to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strength Based therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward during a difficult time in their life.
My focus
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with challenges of life stressors and difficult situations. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, and stress. I work to help my clients navigate these difficult times in their lives and to build skills that allow them to be the best version of themselves possible.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I enjoy the work I do as it is very rewarding to help others find their path and gain confidence in who they are and what makes them feel whole.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. As your therapist, I will be there to help guide you in getting closer to those goals. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy.
My first session with you
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently and for me to ask questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different and I like to get a better understanding of your unique situation.
