Carlos Hernandez
LMSWLicensed Master Social Worker
I am a LMSW with a psychology and social work background. After receiving my bachelor's degree in Mental Health Psychology, I worked extensively with families and children/adolescents of all ages, developing a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within these dynamic environments. I furthered my education by earning a Master's in Social Work, which equipped me with advanced skills and theoretical knowledge to enhance my practice.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Ecological Systems Theory, which considers the complex interplay between individuals and their diverse environments. This perspective informs my use of evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), allowing for a tailored and responsive approach to each client's needs.
In addition to my clinical work, I have been actively involved in ministry, where I have led multiple support groups and provided spiritual guidance to help individuals navigate life's challenges with faith and resilience.
