Marina Hernandez, LPC

Hello, my name is Marina Astrid Hernandez, a Bilingual Psychotherapist at Latinx Talk Therapy. Embracing my Latinx heritage, I keenly observe the stigmas burdening our community. My paramount objective is empowering individuals through comprehensive support, cultivating coping mechanisms, heightening self-awareness, and vital psychoeducation. Talk therapy holds transformative potency, shaping our lives' narratives. Bringing profound gratification, aiding individuals to enhance their quality of life is my mission. With a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health from DePaul University, I've honed micro-counseling skills and studied evidence-based interventions. Engaging in diverse training programs like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and narrative treatment approaches refines my expertise. Born in Brownsville, Texas, my journey started at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley as a special education teacher. Realizing my passion for delving deeper into human experiences prompted me to pursue psychotherapy. Beyond work, I indulge in leisure—cycling, walks with my pup, Mia, and enriching my understanding of the world through reading. My therapeutic core lies in cognitive behavior therapy, yet I'm adaptable to clients' needs. Evidence-based practices drive my commitment to holistic human development, acknowledging intersecting identities' impact on healing and growth. Dedicated to fostering an empathetic environment, I eagerly anticipate guiding you toward transformative change and personal fulfillment.
