About Me

My name is Lisa Hernandez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Los Angeles area. I received my BA at Cal State Northridge and later graduated with my masters from California Graduate institute in 2001.  I began my journey in the mental health field as a Behavior Therapist and later as a Supervisor specializing in children with Autism. In 2007, I began working with client's that had experienced trauma and/or dealing with significant environmental stressors. Within the last 15 years I have worked with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues just to name a few.  I also specialize in helping parents find their confidence as it relates to managing their child's behaviors as well as  strengthening their bond. Working in the mental health field for over 15 years I have discovered just how much self-doubt and negative core beliefs can paralyze someone from moving forward and reaching their greatest potential. I will help you to understand how your limiting beliefs are holding you back while uncovering how your past is influencing your present for the purpose of creating lasting change.  

I especially love the process of helping people understand what is holding them back and finding their new sense of confidence. My passion is teaching people healthy ways of managing their emotions, communicating effectively, and building confidence so that you can attain fulfillment and happiness. I truly believe that happiness is a choice and that anyone can attain it. 

My approach is authentic, emotionally sensitive, and practical.  I believe that life is a journey with many twist and turns and my goal is to help you navigate through the crossroads of life with clarity and compassion towards your happiness. I would be honored to collaborate with you on helping you get there.
