Kimberly Yantuche-Hernandez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kimberly!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, stress, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, anger and impulse control, relationship problems, and self-esteem issues.

My focus

I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, stress, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, anger and impulse control, relationship problems, and self-esteem issues.

My approach

I create a culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental safe space where you can freely explore and work through your feelings while strengthening self-esteem and achieving personal transformation through evidence-based methods.

My communication style

I create a platform where you can communicate current life stressors and triggers while learning about your ability to grow and heal. I communicate empathetically so you feel heard, acknowledged, validated, and praised.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a passion for helping others. My journey has included advocating for the underserved and unrepresented, supporting those around me to see their capacity to strive, persevere, and achieve.

My goals for you

I believe in collaborating with you to set feasible goals while addressing what is currently impacting your ability to function at your full potential.

Our first session

In your first session, we will review informed consent and confidentiality, complete an assessment exploring what brought you to therapy, discuss current stressors and symptoms, and identify your goals. We will spend time getting to know each other and building rapport.
