Alexander Hernandez, LMHC, MCAP
Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Certified Addiction Professional
Philosophy of Care
You are more than a diagnosis. When you work with me you will engage in a "whole-person" approach to counseling. We will focus on your thoughts, feelings, and symptoms, but we will also look at other aspects of your life. We will examine nutrition, physical activity, sleep, social and family relationships, spiritual and religious practices, occupational and educational concerns and other relevant areas. While I have the ability to diagnose via the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, Fifth Edition, Revised) I will not limit therapy to the treatment of a pathological (disease) label. We will take a practical approach to the solution of your problems.
