Laura Hernandez

Laura has over seven years of experience providing mental health care. Her patient-centered approach ensures that treatment is structured and adaptable to each individual’s needs. While she provides guidance and support, she prioritizes meeting patients where they are in their journey. If a patient feels ambivalent about change, Laura works collaboratively with them to explore barriers and identify achievable, sustainable steps forward. Understanding where a patient is emotionally and mentally allows her to offer the right support and encouragement to create meaningful progress. Laura was inspired to pursue mental health work through her own experiences with intergenerational stress. She has witnessed firsthand how limited access to mental health services and societal pressure to manage stress independently can impact family relationships. Laura believes in empowering individuals to take an active role in their mental health, ultimately improving well-being at both personal and community levels. She has experience in school-based programs and private practice.
