Jessica Hernandez, M.S.

Jessica is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMF118127) and Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APC7571). She is currently under the supervision of Dr. Natalie Rios (Licensed Psychologist PSY25690).

Whether you have lost yourself in the busyness of life and are exhausted from playing a role, have lost sense of who you really are or are going through life on autopilot, or you are not enjoying life and relationships the way you want to, Jessica would like to help. She believes that every person is worthy of happiness!

Jessica’s counseling approach is humanistic. She wants to help you gain awareness of patterns that no longer suit you. She hopes to walk alongside you and help you identify issues that interfere with your life story. Jessica hopes that you feel safe to be unapologetically yourself in sessions, and to process feelings and challenge negative thoughts knowing that you are completely seen and safe to do so. Her desire for you is to have your story be one of growth and healing, where you can become more self-aware and gain more control on the narrative being told in your life.
