Hi, my name is Lisa Hernandez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born and raised in a border city in Texas. I strongly value self care and respect and compassion for self and others in order to be an effective therapist. For self care I enjoy hiking, listening to music, meditation, cooking, and reading while enjoying my coffee or tea. Starting therapy can be scary which is why I am dedicated to providing a safe environment where you can feel comfortable and accepted as you share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
I have experience in helping teens, adults, and families with a variety of needs and issues including trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, Bipolar Disorder, addictions, low self-esteem, anger, grief, Borderline Personality Disorder, and women's issues. Much of my clinical experience includes working with the Hispanic population living on the border of Mexico.
I use a collaborative and personalized therapeutic approach that prioritizes respecting cultural factors. I understand the importance of being listened to and respecting individual values and beliefs. I utilize a variety of therapy styles such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other evidence based therapeutic approaches to help my clients address their needs and reach their personal goals. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Ms. Hernandez offers goal-oriented and structured sessions with a game plan to help you reach your goals. I've been in therapy before but this is the first time I've felt it's been productive. She's well put together and is able to effectively break down concepts that help shift your perspective to help you meet your goals. I cannot recommend her enough.

She is the best. She listens to me and lets me talk. She offers advise and ways to resolve my issues. I am so so so so thankful for Lisa. The way therapy is structured and her level of professionalism makes her the best therapist I’ve had. Thank you Lisa for being my life guard when I felt like I was drowning. You were God sent into my life. I will continue to seek Lisas guidance and counsel.
