My name is Dainerys Hernandez, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to humanism and a vocation for service. Therapy is a powerful path to self-knowledge, helping to redefine problems as opportunities for learning and growth. Entering the path of therapy requires courage, commitment, and a willingness to engage fully. Only then can one see meaningful results.
My therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral and holistic and also incorporates mindfulness practices. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, which is supported by extensive clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness in treating a wide range of psychological issues. The holistic aspect of my approach considers the whole person, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Mindfulness practices are integrated to help clients stay present, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness. Research shows that mindfulness can enhance emotional regulation and decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. By combining these methodologies, my approach not only addresses immediate concerns but also promotes long-term mental health and well-being.
As a professional, I have experience in treating issues related to self-esteem, grief, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, vocational issues, burnout, trauma, and family issues.
