Julio Hernandez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julio!

I work with people from young adults to older adults, specializing in trauma, depression, stress, and life changes. My goal is to support you through life's challenges and help you feel better.

My focus

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing life's challenges and transitions. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress, guiding you through pivotal moments and equipping you with tools to enhance self-esteem and cultivate a brighter perspective.

My approach

I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to empower you in overcoming life's hurdles. I also offer Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to support your individual journey toward healing and growth.

My communication style

I offer a relaxed, calm, personable, and compassionate approach. My goal is to connect with you on your unique journey, fostering a warm, supportive, and safe space where you can comfortably share and navigate your life experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by a passion for helping others. From a young age, I felt called to support people during their most challenging moments. Witnessing individuals evolve into their truest and most empowered selves has always been a source of genuine fulfillment for me.

My goals for you

My approach centers on collaborative exploration of what you aim to achieve. We begin by establishing trust and fostering ease in the therapeutic process. Together, we define clear goals and monitor your progress over time.

Our first session

During our initial session, we'll focus on your recent emotions and experiences. I'll ask questions to understand what's contributing to your current feelings. This first session is about establishing connection and gaining a comprehensive understanding of your unique needs.
