Meet Your Psychotherapist
Edward Fernandez, LMHC
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and PhD candidate in Psychology, I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of anxiety disorders. I believe that lasting change begins with understanding why anxiety develops and what keeps it going. Together, we'll identify the patterns that maintain anxiety, reduce avoidance, and build the confidence to face life's challenges with greater freedom.
