Pamela Merino Hernández, LCSW
Bilingual Therapist
I am a trauma-informed therapist with a deep passion for walking alongside adults and couples as they find their way toward healing and connection.
I was born and raised in Mexico and migrated to the United States as a teenager. This experience profoundly shaped my understanding of what it means to navigate between two worlds, two cultures, and two versions of yourself. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and I have fully embraced the art of Spanglish along the way!
With over 15 years of experience serving diverse communities across a wide range of settings, my work has always been grounded in a trauma-informed foundation. I bring professional expertise and a genuine understanding of the complexity of the human experience. I believe that your story, your background, and your journey matter deeply, and I am honored to be a part of it…I also believe a healthy sense of humor can go a long way in the therapy room!
My specialties include: attachment styles and relational issues, affair recovery, EMDR, complex trauma and PTSD.
