About Dr. Jacinda Hernandez

We all encounter our own personal "mountains"—be it overcoming depression, managing anxiety, or healing from grief and trauma. I understand that each individual's journey is distinct, and I recognize that no two "mountains" are alike. I invest time in getting to know you as a whole person, tailoring my treatment approach to meet your specific needs.

Your mental health is my utmost priority. I am here to provide the support, guidance, and resources you deserve, helping you to feel your best and empowering you to reach your fullest potential.

I am a compassionate and dedicated clinical psychologist. I earned my doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology in 2016 after completing my undergraduate studies at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. I have experience in various community mental health settings—ranging from private practices to secure inpatient facilities—and have worked with diverse populations facing a wide array of mental health concerns.

My expertise includes supporting individuals navigating reproductive mental health challenges, military members and their families, and those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and parenting issues. I am deeply committed to practicing cultural humility, ensuring that my practice provides a safe, inclusive space for all individuals to explore their mental well-being.

I believe that deep and sustainable growth comes from a collaborative effort, both within sessions and through your own exploration and practice in between. My approach integrates person-centered principles, ensuring your unique experiences and goals are at the heart of our work. We will also explore interpersonal patterns to understand how your relationships impact you, and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

If you're feeling a strong pull towards making meaningful and lasting changes in your life, and you're ready to actively engage in that process, then Summit Mental Wellness might be a good fit for you. My goal is to offer expert resources and compassionate guidance, helping individuals embark on their journeys to a healthier mind within a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
