About

Hello, my name is Sarahi Hernandez and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of New Mexico. In the past twelve years, I have worked with individuals, couples and families throughout the life span. My approach is very diverse and I tend to utilize different theories in order to accommodate you and meet you where you feel most comfortable. I am client centered, accepting that you are the expert of your life and I am here to find ways to help you help yourself. To name a few, I use interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused (SFT), Narrative, Humanistic and Family Systems Theories.
My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a non-judgmental, compassionate and safe space to open up about the things that are causing you distress and or are making you feel overwhelmed. I highly value transparency and honesty when working with my clients. Many times we are willing to help ourselves when it comes to our bodies (medical problems); however, we naturally shy away from tending to our emotional needs. By accepting this help and reaching out you are starting this process of healing emotional wounds that are at times neglected. Ultimately, you will find that you are more resilient than you think, that you hold the answers to your own problems, and that you are evolving into the best version of yourself possible. I love what I do and more than a profession it is a vocation for me and I cannot imagine doing anything else.
To share a little bit about myself, I was born and raised in California by immigrant parents from Mexico. I am first generation Mexican-American and the first in my family to graduate from college. There are many benefits to being bicultural; I believe I am able to understand different world views, customs, values and overall be more culturally sensitive. I am happily married to my best friend whom is from Honduras, Central America. We have three dogs, two beautiful German Shepards named Niko (4yrs) and Maya (3 yers), and a little Shitzu-mix little girl named Nori. Last but not least an orange tabby cat named Benito.
