Karen Hernandez, LMSW

My name is Karen Hernandez and I am a fully-licensed Social Worker who is fluent in both English and Spanish. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Oakland University and went on to receive my Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. I have experience in various mental health fields, including outpatient and inpatient mental health facilities and clinics.

My practice predominantly focuses on mental health issues and adversities manifesting through or because of anxiety, depression, mood instability, relationship issues, stress, identity, and major life changes within the adult population. I use a range of therapeutic approaches depending on a client's specific needs, including Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and Strength- based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a therapist, I am passionate about providing clients with the support, space, knowledge and tools needed to reinforce positive changes, build self-esteem, and self-efficacy, help manage thoughts and behaviors, and assist clients in gaining a better understanding of themselves.
