As a parent, it is easy to become frustrated or overwhelmed when a child is acting out, not doing well in school, or just isn't the same. Dr. Hernández works closely with you as a parent to help your child become emotionally healthy, while guiding you to develop the appropriate parenting skills. Her interventions are aimed at helping you better cope with your child's behavior and improve your family interactions, at the same time helping your child learn how to balance their emotions and behaviors.
Adolescence can be a difficult transition time for teenagers and early adults, as well as for parents. Dr. Hernández creates a warm, trusting and collaborative space for adolescents to be included in their treatment. She is respectful and cognizant of balancing an adolescent's need for autonomy while maintaining or strengthening an intimate bond with their parents, by including both in treatment.
Dr. Hernández is available for you and your family. When something is affecting one family member, it has a ripple affect that impacts others as well. Family therapy is a space where all members of the family can come together, express their individual thoughts and feelings, while strengthening their relationships with others in the family.
