Highly experienced

Written on Dec 21, 2024 after therapy with Oren for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

As a Latin, first-generation, working mother of 2 young ones, my emotional needs are complex and unique to my current life and experiences. I hardly have time for any self-care, yet, I never miss my session. Maybe I didn't have the energy to shower, but I still click "Join Session" on Mondays. I am in a different time and I still l elect to see Doc H! If you're lucky enough to get a spot with him, snap it up fast. I could go on and on, but I'll say this: excellent, much-needed support that is not easy to find here.

Written on Dec 18, 2024 after therapy with Oren for 1 year and 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, and adhd

This is my fourth attempt at therapy. The reason for my multiple tries is my desire to find someone who is not only knowledgeable but also someone I genuinely respect and can envision as a mentor. Dr. H definitely has that aura about him. In just a few sessions, he has provided me with insightful books to read and guidance on a better diet. However, the most valuable gift he has given me is the opportunity to restructure the belief systems that have been holding me back.

Dr. Hernandez is incredibly insightful in understanding what makes people tick. He both listens patiently and provides clear and direct guidance to help people overcome challenges in relationships and grow personally. I am very grateful for his support and advice and would highly recommend him.
