Hello, I’m Alexis Hernandez, a Social Work Intern at Love & Wellness Counseling. I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work (MSW) and am passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges, strengthen their coping skills, and work toward meaningful personal growth.

​

As a first-generation student and bilingual social worker, I understand the importance of representation and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel welcomed, understood, and respected. I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing me to support individuals and families from diverse backgrounds while helping make mental health services more accessible and culturally responsive.

​

My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and meeting each person where they are. I recognize that every client brings unique experiences, strengths, values, and goals to therapy. Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health, I take time to understand each client’s story and work collaboratively to identify strategies that reflect their individual needs and circumstances.

​

Through my social work education and practicum experiences, I have worked with children and families and facilitated Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) groups. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of mental health and reinforced my interest in trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, coping skills, and helping clients develop a greater understanding of themselves and their experiences.

​

Above all, I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and empowered. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to walking alongside clients as they build on their strengths, develop new skills, and move toward the goals that matter most to them.
