About

Leidy Hernandez, LCSW, MBA

My name is Leidy Hernandez and my educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, a Master of Social Work from Sacramento State University, and a Master of Business Administration from San Jose State University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has worked with children and families for the past 9 years. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, adversity, child psychology, addictive behaviors, and conflict resolution. I thrive in ensuring that everyone can live a fulfilling lifestyle. This may require processing any underlying trauma that is impacting the patient's daily behaviors. Everyone deserves happiness and overcoming the underlying stressors that can prevent them from achieving and reaching a healthy state of mind.

Experience

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has worked with children and families for the past eight years. As a therapist, I have helped individuals facing life challenges by assisting them to understand their own emotional patterns and directing them towards making the right choices. Through my educational and professional experience, it has become evident that with the right tools people are able to have a better outlook on any issues that life brings. Throughout the years I have learned and utilized different therapeutic approaches and feel that people are able to reach their therapeutic goals with the appropriate clinical approach and a good therapeutic relationship. My therapeutic approach includes a holistic focus that incorporates the mind, body, and spirit. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness therapy, attachment-based therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy. The treatment approach selected depends on the needs of my clients and the treatment goals to be achieved.
