About Me

Hello! I’m Dr. Rakia R. Hernández, a multicultural and bilingual therapist deeply committed to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate their unique paths toward healing and self-discovery. My passion lies in creating a safe and welcoming space where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to explore their challenges and achieve personal growth. I understand the profound impact of cultural identity, life transitions, and systemic barriers on mental health, and I am dedicated to helping clients find balance, healing, and resilience—no matter where their journeys take them.

In my practice, I blend a solution-focused approach with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strong emphasis on addressing trauma and integrating spirituality. This allows me to meet clients where they are, tailoring the therapeutic process to fit their individual needs, values, and experiences. My goal is to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, break free from limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for navigating current challenges. Together, we work to unpack and heal the effects of past trauma while building tools for managing life’s complexities with confidence and strength.

For those who wish to explore the role of spirituality in their healing journey, I incorporate this dimension in a way that is meaningful and authentic to the client’s beliefs and values. This holistic approach helps foster emotional well-being, inner peace, and a deeper connection to oneself. Through compassionate guidance and culturally informed care, I empower clients to overcome obstacles, embrace their strengths, and create lasting positive change.

I believe that healing is a collaborative journey, and together, we can chart a path toward greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and empowerment. It is my honor to walk alongside my clients as they discover their inner strength and achieve their goals for a more fulfilling and balanced life.
