PMHNP, 3 years of experience
Greetings! I'm Dr. Victoria Hernandez, a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I started my educational journey by completing my bachelor's degree at University of Texas at Arlington. I completed my doctorate degree at the University of the Incarnate Word to follow. I have been practicing for 3 years and have found that helping others is my true passion. I provide compassionate and effective psychiatric care to clients, all while ensuring that physical wellbeing is also a top priority.
At our first session, we will collaborate to establish a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. We will also work on collaborative goal setting, and objectives by which you can achieve your goals. Clients are encouraged to complete to PHQ-9 and GAD-7 prior to this session, to help me understand the severity of symptoms. I look forward to assisting you on your mental health wellness journey.
I offer a wide range of psychiatric services, including medication management, therapy, and wellness education. My greatest strength as a provider, is that I provide comprehensive and integrated care to my clients, addressing both their physical and emotional health needs. I also pride myself in collaborating with clients to identify measurable goals and objectives that clients can implement easily and effectively into their daily routines.
I work with individuals of all ages in enhancing mental and physical wellness. I have the most overall experience in adolescent and young adult psychiatry, but also have experience with child and adult psychiatry.
My overall experience with CBT has been rewarding, both for my clients and for my own personal growth as a provider. Using a collaborative and client-centered approach to help clients develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, CBT has been particularly effective in fostering resilience and promoting lasting change.
My experience with mindfulness-based therapy has helped many clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their overall quality of life.
Integrated with medication management, I provide psychoeducation to my clients for the goal of improving their quality of life and well-being. By providing knowledge about mental health conditions, challenges, and coping strategies, my clients and I can collaborate to develop personal management skills and an understanding of their treatment options.

I was being honest in my consultation about my experience with medication (adderall) and Victoria basically past judgement to me and said I was a red flag. I have NEVER had addictive behavior and was immediately offended. I thought that honesty was the best policy and instead, I was be reprimanded for it. Victoria does not create a safe space for patients to be honest.

Victoria has been very effective in my treatment, from ordering a genetic test to suggesting medication. She's open to my ideas and brings her own experience to each session. I feel confident in her ability to treat my mental health issues.
