Hello, my name is Regina Hernandez! I am a licensed clinical social worker based in California and have been serving children, teens, and adults for seven years. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz and Masters in Social Work from Cal State Fullerton. I help women heal from low self-esteem and the mother wound by empowering them to reclaim their self-worth and embrace their true value.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I will invite you to discuss what led you to begin therapy. I will collaborate with you on creating meaningful therapy goals that feel right for you. If you are struggling to identify goals I will support you in envisioning what progress may look like such as changes to your beliefs, behaviors, and relationships.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I will always bring warmth, compassion, transparency, and humor into the sessions. I will encourage you to let go of old patterns and behaviors that no longer support your well-being, helping you to create space for new, healthier ways of being. Together, we’ll explore how to bring these changes into your daily life

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love supporting women of color who struggle with low self-esteem, difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, attachment issues in relationships, chronic shame or guilt, unresolved grief, and difficulty with self-care.

My treatment methods

Brainspotting

I have been using Brainspotting in my practice for the last year and have witnessed a decrease in clients' distress with the modality. Brainspotting uses eye positions to help the brain process difficult emotions, promote healing, and reduce trauma's emotional charge. Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique that helps people process and heal from trauma, stress, and emotional pain. It works by identifying and focusing on "brainspots"—specific points in the visual field that are linked to unresolved emotional or physical issues. When a person holds their gaze on these points, it activates the brain's natural healing process, allowing them to access and release deep-seated emotions and memories.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice for the last four years to address anxiety, depression, and trauma. CBT helps folx identify and change negative thought patterns, reduces avoidance, and encourages healthier behaviors and coping strategies.
