MEET OUR THERAPISTS
At Collaborative Insight, we utilize a solution-focused approach to identify your strengths to help strategize and problem-solve how you can be your best self. We believe therapy is a collaborative effort and we are here to assist you in creating positive and meaningful change.
Marcela Hernandez, LCSW
Therapist
Are you feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about your mental health? If you've heard someone suggest, "Maybe you should talk to someone," know that you're not alone. Taking the step to seek therapy can be scary, especially when it involves sharing personal challenges with someone new. It’s perfectly normal to feel hesitant or anxious about seeking support. I want to commend you for considering this vital step.
Everyone faces unique challenges, and it’s important to recognize that you don’t have to face them alone.

My Philosophy
My philosophy is grounded in the principles of social work. As a woman of color, I am committed to delivering compassionate and culturally sensitive care to individuals from diverse backgrounds.
