Carissa Hernandez

My communication style

Open communication is my priority to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to help others arose early, and I made it my goal to support people through life's hardest challenges. I've worked with individuals of all ages struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety. This experience affirmed the transformative power of therapy and deepened my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative journey. Together, we'll identify and pursue goals that matter most to you—whether that's strengthening relationships, building self-esteem, or working toward another personal vision. As you gain insight and grow, your goals may shift, and we'll adapt our approach to ensure it stays aligned with what's meaningful to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another, where we'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous, so we'll take it one step at a time. We'll continue to build our work together over time.
