Hello, and thank you for choosing BetterHelp for your therapy needs. I am Dr. Paul Fernandez. I have been a licensed therapist and psychologist for more than 30+ years. I have spent my career concentrating on providing mental health services to the Latino/Hispanic community in Southern California, with a special emphasis in substance abuse, addiction recovery, anxiety/stress, depression, and anger management.
In my thirty years of experience providing mental health services, I have found that I match best with other members of the Spanish-speaking Latino community. I have tailored my mental health practice to provide therapy from a spiritual, Latino perspective that concentrates on the unique cultural issues faced by the Hispanic community. However, I am open and eager to work with anyone needing help and assistance. I try to provide a very non-judgmental, safe environment where you can feel secure in discussing any issues that you feel are most important to be addressed in your life.

Paul is a genuinely good soul that will hold you accountable and also hold your hand during the counseling process. He is very supportive and also determined to help and makes it easy to be honest and up front during sessions. He offers a variety of ways to reach your goals and helps you find your will and address your issues without feeling attacked or put on the spot. I appreciate his candor and real life experience as well. He is truly kind and dedicated to his craft.
