Allison Hernandez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Allison!

My approach to therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life changes, and family issues.

My focus

I have experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life changes, and family issues.

My approach

I believe that identifying and focusing on a client's strengths, as well as practicing effective coping skills, can help a client obtain the outcomes they want. I am trained in multiple evidence-based practices, such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Based Therapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, and Managing and Adapting Practice.

My communication style

I create a comfortable and empathetic environment for my clients to express their thoughts and feelings, where they don't feel judged. My clients have expressed that they feel heard and supported when they work with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in becoming a therapist started when I realized that I liked to assist others when I worked with the community. Helping and working with clients to obtain their goals has been very rewarding.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by working with the client to assist them in identifying their treatment goals. We work together to create obtainable and realistic goals for them.

Our first session

During our first session, we will talk about what brought the client into therapy to determine what would be the appropriate and effective treatment option for the client.
