I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a background that includes years of work with people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives — including incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addiction, and those carrying cultural weight that doesn't show up in a standard intake form. I'm South Asian, I grew up navigating two worlds, and that shapes how I show up for clients who've had to figure things out without a clear map. I don't do therapy with a clipboard. I'm direct, I'm real, and I'm genuinely interested in what's underneath the surface.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and mom of four with a passion for helping people feel balanced, understood, and supported. I earned my nursing degree from Chamberlain University in Chicago and completed my psychiatric graduate training at the University of Kentucky. I’ve been proudly serving patients as a PMHNP since 2022.
I provide care for children (6+), teens, and adults, including parents, professionals, students, and anyone navigating life transitions or emotional challenges. My focus areas include: ADHD, anxiety & panic, depression, bipolar disorders, trauma & PTSD, emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, sleep issues, and mood and behavior concerns in children/teens.
HI! My name is Eunice Hernandez, and I am looking forward to connecting with
you! As a clinician, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard,
safe, and supported. As we build a trusting relationship, I hope to be able to
empower you in identifying action steps you can take to reach your full potential and
self-worth. I have over 20 years of counseling children, adolecent and adults from different walks of life.
If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.
Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.
Hello! I am a licensed clinical professional counselor that specializes in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders.. I have been in practice for almost 30 years. I also have a specialty in treating children and teens as well. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy with an emphasis on exposure and response prevention in working with these disorders. I have a firm and loving approach with my patients which helps push patients towards their goals
With nearly three decades of experience, I've learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard, understood, and supported. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Having grown up in India and continued my education in both the United Kingdom and the United States, I also bring an appreciation for how culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate space where you can build on your strengths, gain practical tools, and create lasting change.
You don't have to have it figured out before our first conversation. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and the quiet weight that stress, grief, and anger can carry over time. I have a particular focus on men's mental health and the challenges that come with asking for support when you've always been expected to handle it. I've spent over a decade in non-profit work with young adults and families, college counseling, and private practice, meeting people at a wide range of starting points. My goal is to help you build a life that actually fits. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect.
Often, struggles can become gateways to transformation. Many of the clients I work with are navigating low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, grief, or major life transitions that leave them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. You may be experiencing racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, loss, or uncertainty about your direction in life. When we begin to explore these experiences with compassion and curiosity, new perspectives and meaningful change can emerge.
I believe telling your story in a safe, supportive space can be deeply healing. I want to hear about your hopes, dreams, challenges, and losses. My goal is to help you better understand your experiences, develop emotional resilience, and move toward greater clarity and self-acceptance. You are not alone, and I am here to walk alongside you as you move forward on your journey toward healing and growth.
I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over 10+ of experience in the mental health field, and 3 years as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I founded Isimi Health & Wellness to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. My clinical background spans across PHP/IOP settings, Outpatient psychiatry, TMS, and telepsychiatry. I’ve worked with diverse populations experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for mood instability, clarity around your medication options, or a space to reset and realign, I’m honored to walk alongside you on your wellness journey.
