Liz Hernandez, LMFT

Hi, I’m Liz Hernandez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, burnout, depression, and the challenges of living with ADHD/ADD. I work with individuals from all walks of life, including those within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, to create meaningful and lasting change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from your sense of self, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths, your identity, and your power.

My approach is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in trust. I use a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Attachment-Based approaches, tailoring treatment to your unique story. I believe in honoring individuality, and I strive to create a safe, shame-free space where you can feel understood and empowered.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark University in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, I’ve supported clients in diverse settings, always with a focus on cultivating confidence, self-esteem, and authentic identity. I’m committed to helping you build the tools and insight needed to lead a life that feels more grounded, connected, and true to you.
My approach is collaborative, flexible, and tailored to your needs. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices to help you manage emotions and build healthier patterns. For trauma, I offer Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), creating a space that’s safe, supportive, and focused on meaningful change.

I earned my doctorate from Carlos Albizu University in Puerto Rico. My training includes DBT and trauma-focused work at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health. I’m passionate about making therapy effective and accessible for all identities. If you're seeking compassionate, culturally sensitive care, I’d love to connect and begin this journey with you!"
