Angela Hernandez, LMFT

Angela (she/her) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specialized in working with children, adolescents and families.  When Angela chose University of San Francisco to get her Master’s degree, she was inspired by their emphasis on Social Justice and was eager to give back to the community.  Angela chose internship programs and employment positions that served youth and families in the Bay Area.  She has worked in School-Based and Community-Based positions, with youth and families navigating the challenges of foster care and family reunification, as well as in a group private practice treating severe Anxiety Disorders and Mood Disorders. 

Through her years of experience in the field, Angela has found that she is passionate about working with Trauma.  She enjoys learning more and more about the brain and the connection between mind and body, to help her clients reintegrate and heal.  In addition, Angela believes that working with the family and/or support system is crucial when working with children and adolescents.  Angela’s approach is to meet each client exactly where they are at and support them in finding their motivation for change and growth.  She also uses play and art therapy techniques when working with children, as children communicate through play.  As a coach/mentor, Angela will practice non-judgement and hold a safe space to explore any and all ideas that her client envisions for their growth and well-being, and be a guide to help them achieve it.
