About me
Hi, I’m Ashley Hernandez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Find Your Balance Center for Growth & Change. Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you or your child are managing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, behavioral challenges, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, or the demands of parenting. I believe that progress and healing grow from a safe therapeutic environment where connection is the priority, and I’m here to support you in building more balance, resilience, and confidence.
I provide online therapy for children, teens, adults, and parents using a compassionate, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach. I am EMDR trained and integrate evidence-based practices such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, and solution-focused therapy to support healing, emotional growth, and meaningful change.
I was born and raised in Southern California and earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2015. Over the past decade, I have worked with children, teens, and parents in the public education system, which has shaped my passion for supporting families through life’s challenges. Since entering motherhood myself, I am especially passionate about helping parents heal their own inner child while navigating the emotional demands of caregiving.
If you or your child are feeling overwhelmed, working through trauma, or ready for change, I invite you to reach out to schedule an appointment or consultation.
