Tara Hernandez
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
"Don't expect everyone to understand your journey. Especially if they've never had to walk your path." Zig Ziglar.
In therapy you have the opportunity to address challenges and struggles while learning effective coping skills in a non-judging environment. I assist you by providing a non-biased perspective and together we develop goals that are reasonable and achievable. As a mental health professional, I have had the remarkable opportunity over the last 15 years to work with diverse populations and a wide range of clients which include infants, children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.
