Maya Hernandez, LAC

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or a recent life transition? Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. As a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in Arizona, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space for adults of all ages to process difficult emotions, build helpful coping skills, and create meaningful changes in their lives. 

My approach is entirely client-centered and trauma-informed. I draw from evidence-based frameworks to tailor our sessions to your unique needs including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thought patterns and challenge distressing core beliefs. 
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to build distress tolerance and drive personal growth.
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you achieve practical, real-world goals. 

I specialize in helping adults manage depression, anxiety disorders, stress, and major life transitions. Additionally, I have valuable clinical experience supporting individuals navigating OCD and trauma. While I am continuously expanding my specialized training in trauma-focused modalities, I am fully equipped to assist you in safely exploring your experiences and building a stronger foundation for healing. Healing is not a linear journey, and it takes immense courage to show up for yourself. While I am always expanding my advanced training in trauma-focused care, my goal right now is to provide you with a safe, steady, and deeply compassionate space where you feel truly heard. Together, we will honor your pace, untangle the heavy spaces, and build the compassionate foundation you need to move forward with confidence and peace.
