Alexander Hernandez, LMHC — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Alexander!

My approach to therapy is integrative in that I look at all aspects of the person in order to determine the cause and to identify solutions for problems. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, substance abuse, stress management, relationships, and overall well-being.

My focus

I typically work with young professionals and middle-aged adults. My clients tend to be hard-working and educated individuals. Often, they have achieved a great deal of success in their personal and professional lives, but just need a little help in a couple of areas.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach in therapy. I draw from different theoretical orientations in order to meet the needs of my clients. Among them are cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology.

My communication style

I provide a comfortable, open, and non-judgmental atmosphere where my clients can share about anything and everything. I am like a personal trainer or coach for your mental health and emotional well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

I like to say that I went from patient to provider. Once upon a time, I, too, needed help. I reached out for it, got it, and changed my life. Ever since that time, becoming a therapist has been a calling for me. It is an innate drive for me, and I feel deeply connected to my work.

My goals for you

I work with my clients on developing their goals. We will come to an agreement together on what goals are appropriate and what to work towards. There are times when I will present a potential goal for a client.

Our first session

You can expect to talk about your problem in-depth during the first visit. Sharing details about when the problem started, what caused it, how it's affecting you, and the different solutions that have been tried in the past to fix it.
