Welcome to my page! I am a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
My passion is working with people who feel lost and overwhelmed, due to past trauma or a major life change, and need some guidance re-establishing their sense of well-being & self-connectedness as they navigate creating a meaningful life.
My background is in clinical psychology, nutrition, yoga and meditation, and life coaching. Why do I include all of this in my therapy practice? Because I think they're all interrelated, and all important for bringing a person back to their sense of well-being & wholeness. That is why I call myself a Holistic Psychotherapist.
With this in mind, some of the tools I will use in our therapy sessions may include mindfulness practices, EFT tapping, nutritional information, creative expression, in addition to processing your thoughts and feelings about your life experiences and learning new skills to optimize your life. My goal is to help you find balance and healthy integration for your mind, body, and spirit.
I am trained in several modalities that synergistically comprise my holistic therapy practice:
**10+ years of teaching yoga & mindfulness
**10+ years of nutrition and herbal expertise
**10 years of creative expression practices & trainings
** 7 years of transformational coaching experience
** and 5 years as a Domestic Violence Counselor

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jessica Hernandez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Working with Jessica has been awesome. She's highly intuitive and understands a ton about the emotional dynamics at play. I never knew so much coaching could happen just from writing back and forth. I never knew I could experience such huge breakthroughs just by writing on the train while commuting to work! This process has made a big difference in my life. I'm so grateful to Jessica for sharing her wisdom - I highly recommend her!
