Andrea Fernandez, LMFT, EMDR Therapist

Hi there! My name is Andrea Fernandez and I’m a bilingual therapist offering online services in California. I help people tap into their inner strength to overcome generational trauma. Growing up as a Salvadoran, I cherish our vibrant traditions / tradiciones pintorescas and traditional dishes / platillos tipicos. However, I also recognize the lack of awareness about mental health in our culture and many other Latinx communities. I struggled with my own feelings of sadness and fear, wondering if seeking therapy meant I was weak or crazy. I was doing my best in school, relationships, and work, so why couldn’t I just fix how I felt inside? Do you relate to staying busy all the time, ignoring your emotions, battling an inner critic, or striving for perfection? Have you heard messages like “you’re crazy / estas loco(a),” “you’re a problem / eres un problema,” or “no one will want you as you are / nadie te va querer asi” playing in your mind? These shared experiences inspire me to help you rewrite your story. I aim to help you understand where your limiting beliefs come from and connect with your true voice, ideas, and values so you can create a fulfilling life. Together, we’ll clarify your needs, work on assertiveness, develop coping skills for emotional regulation, and find new meanings in your experiences to spark change. By working on yourself, you can transform your daily reality and positively impact those around you. If you’re interested in working together, please call me or send me a direct message on Instagram to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. I accept cash payments as well as Aetna insurance. Andrea Fernandez, LMFT, EMDR Therapist
