Laura Hernandez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker - CA
It's a pleasure to meet you!
I am a bi-racial (Korean-Salvadorian) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers expert, culturally responsive care focused on recovery. I love working with adults and couples navigating life changes, their mental health, societal injustices, and the end of their intergenerational trauma. I have certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Enhanced Illness Management and Recovery, and additional training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and treatment for Complex Traumatic Stress Disorders (PRISM).
What to expect at your session
When you book a session or make a referral, you can anticipate a respectful, dignified experience where connection and understanding are essential. I meet people where they're at and support their bravery as they do difficult things and make changes in their lives. I am passionate about creating a safe, professional environment where clients are empowered as the experts of their own lives, with guidance tailored to what matters to them.
I speak directly and respectfully but humor is also an important part of our healing process because just like trauma, healing is relational. I acknowledge the power dynamics that exist in clinician-client relationships and ensure that we are collaborating as a team to achieve your goals.
