Edgar Hernandez

I am deeply dedicated to guiding individuals on a transformative journey towards greater self-awareness, empowerment, and fulfillment. My intent is to foster a nurturing environment where we can embrace authenticity, break down barriers of shame and stigma, and cultivate resilience. Together, we embark on a journey of growth, making meaningful strides towards healthier life choices and addressing unmet mental health needs. Within my practice, I specialize in providing support for managing anxiety, navigating through depression, processing past traumas, and navigating life's inevitable transitions. Additionally, I offer guidance in overcoming addictive behaviors that may hinder personal growth and strain relationships. What sets my approach apart is my rich tapestry of experiences as an immigrant, non-native English speaker, and member of the LGBTQ+ community. These diverse perspectives allow me to connect deeply with individuals who share similar backgrounds, providing a safe space for navigating the complexities of life in the US. As a seasoned Social Worker, I adopt a holistic approach, considering not only the individual but also their broader environment. Rooted in empathy and compassion, I integrate evidence-based modalities to tailor our journey to your unique needs and aspirations. My credentials include a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Washington, Seattle (2004), and an independent license as a clinical Social Worker (2009). Furthermore, I hold the esteemed designation of Certified Social Worker in Health Care (C-SWHC) and have obtained a specialized Psychological Trauma Certificate from the University of Washington. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of collaborating with you on your path to personal growth. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
