Braulio Fernandez, MS, LMHC

Licensed Therapist

At certain points in our lives, we may experience challenges, stressors, and difficulties that may feel too overwhelming or painful to handle. I chose to pursue a course of professional study, and work, that has allowed me to make an impact on the lives of people. My focus has always been on promoting well-being and client strengths, rather than on focusing solely on the negative effects of problems, to bring about change in people’s lives. I have a passion for helping clients gain recovery, and to reach a state of openness where healing may begin. I have found that the most rewarding element of counseling is helping people reach a state of joy where they are living their fullest life, and I am dedicated to working with each and every client towards this goal.

I am an experienced, well tested, compassionate, and highly devoted mental health counselor with years of professional
