Kimberly Hernandez, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
About Me
I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #131181) and EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. As an integrative EMDR therapist, I work through a trauma and attachment lens, tailoring my approach to each client by drawing from multiple modalities. I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, panic disorders, and dissociation, and fluidly integrate models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and Schema Therapy into my EMDR practice. My clinical work is rooted in adaptability and attunement, allowing me to meet clients where they are in their healing journey. With over a decade of experience supporting diverse populations in Wraparound, school-based, outpatient, and intensive care settings, I bring a broad and compassionate perspective to my work. I currently serve as a clinician at Western Youth Services, providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care in both English and Spanish to low-income and homeless families, and individuals (children, adolescents, and adults). I am not receiving new clients at this time.
