Chasity Hernandez-Swartzel

My communication style

My communication style is comedic, compassionate, empathetic, and curious. I want you to feel safe and comfortable in our shared space, knowing that I will actively listen without judgment, laugh when we can, and share the truth with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

From recognizing the emotions of others at a young age, being a trusted and loyal friend in adolescence, to choosing jobs and volunteer positions as an adult that are helpful, I have naturally been drawn to helping people for as long as I can remember. I value connections, shared experiences, and becoming better versions of ourselves.

My goals for you

You are the expert in your life story, and where you want your story to lead you. You'll take an active role in directing what you want to work towards and how we should best use our time. I will support you in this process by asking questions to gain clarity and strategizing with you on ways to achieve your goals.

Our first session

Our first session together is all about getting to know one another and exploring a mutual idea of how we want to move forward. This will be an opportunity to share what you hope for in a therapist, your previous experiences in/with therapy, and what you hope to achieve during our time.
