Katherine Hernandez
MSW, LCSWA

If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing, you’re not alone. Healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about experiencing change on a deeper level. You’re here because you’re ready to do the work, and I’m here to help guide you through it.

I take a different approach to therapy—one that goes beyond just processing thoughts and feelings. My work is rooted in attachment-based, trauma-informed, and somatic practices, focusing on the mind-body connection and how past experiences shape the present. Healing can happen in many ways, and together, we’ll find what works best for you.

In addition to my work with youth and families, I also provide individual therapy in Spanish for adults, particularly those who have experienced trauma, postpartum or perinatal challenges, or are working through relationship and family stressors. My goal is to offer a compassionate space where healing can take root in the language that feels most authentic and comfortable to you.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client. I draw from Play and Creative Arts Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, and the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). I also integrate psychodynamic principles to help clients gain insight into how past experiences shape current patterns, and I am currently completing my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to deepen trauma-focused care.

As a Latina and native Spanish speaker, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I value creating a space where culture, language, and identity are honored—where you and your family can feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

Together, we’ll work toward helping you or your child move forward with greater confidence, peace, and connection.

En Español

¡Bienvenidos! Soy Katherine. Soy Trabajadora Social Clínica Asociada (LCSWA), y trabajo con niños, adolescentes y adultos que enfrentan desafíos emocionales, traumas y transiciones importantes en la vida. Si tu hijo o hija está teniendo dificultades para manejar sus emociones, actuando de manera impulsiva o aislándose de los demás, no estás solo(a). No tienes que enfrentar esto por tu cuenta.

A lo largo de mi experiencia en entornos escolares y de salud mental comunitaria, he apoyado a niños y adolescentes que viven con TDAH, ansiedad, depresión, trastornos del estado de ánimo y dificultades en sus relaciones o autoestima. Colaboro estrechamente con los padres —ya sean de habla inglesa o española— para fortalecer la comunicación familiar y brindar apoyo adaptado a las necesidades únicas de cada niño o adolescente.

Además de mi trabajo con jóvenes y familias, ofrezco terapia individual en español para adultos, especialmente para quienes han vivido experiencias traumáticas, atraviesan dificultades posparto o perinatales, o están enfrentando situaciones estresantes en sus relaciones y entorno familiar. Mi objetivo es ofrecer un espacio compasivo donde la sanación pueda florecer en el idioma que se sienta más auténtico y cómodo para ti.

Mi enfoque terapéutico es cálido, colaborativo y personalizado. Integro Terapia de Juego y Artes Creativas, Terapia Cognitivo Conductual (TCC), Terapia Dialéctico Conductual (TDC), Terapia Cognitivo Conductual Centrada en el Trauma, Terapia Basada en el Apego y estrategias parentales como el programa Triple P (Programa de Crianza Positiva). También incorporo principios psicodinámicos para ayudar a mis clientes a comprender cómo sus experiencias pasadas influyen en sus patrones actuales, y actualmente estoy completando mi capacitación en Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento por Movimiento Ocular (EMDR) para fortalecer el trabajo enfocado en trauma.

Como latina y hablante nativa de español, ofrezco terapia tanto en inglés como en español. Valoro crear un espacio donde la cultura, el idioma y la identidad sean respetados y comprendidos—un lugar donde tú y tu familia puedan sentirse apoyados, escuchados y empoderados para crecer.

Juntos(as), trabajaremos para que tú o tu hijo(a) puedan avanzar con más confianza, paz y conexión.
