As a Latin, first-generation, working mother of 2 young ones, my emotional needs are complex and unique to my current life and experiences. I hardly have time for any self-care, yet, I never miss my session. Maybe I didn't have the energy to shower, but I still click "Join Session" on Mondays. I am in a different time and I still l elect to see Doc H! If you're lucky enough to get a spot with him, snap it up fast. I could go on and on, but I'll say this: excellent, much-needed support that is not easy to find here.

This is my fourth attempt at therapy. The reason for my multiple tries is my desire to find someone who is not only knowledgeable but also someone I genuinely respect and can envision as a mentor. Dr. H definitely has that aura about him. In just a few sessions, he has provided me with insightful books to read and guidance on a better diet. However, the most valuable gift he has given me is the opportunity to restructure the belief systems that have been holding me back.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

He is a great listener and an excellent therapist. It’s like talking to a friend. :)
Muy buen therapists
Honestly, can’t put into words how grateful I feel to have connected with Oren. Feels like we align on a lot of things and he’s very quickly become some what of a mentor to me. We have, what feels like, a great friendship all the while maintaining a very professional relationship, which is what I believe to be the most ideal Therapist - Client dynamic. His perspective, anecdotes, and delivery are always on time! Thankful for you Oren.
My therapist is a great listener and allows the client to feel comfortable while speaking with him. First session was great, the insight and feedback that he provided was awesome. I look forward to learning more from him and I also would like to say that he keeps my back even when we are not having a session. What that means is that he checks on me from time to time. I recommend that everyone has a Mr. Hernandez to talk to.
Oren has been an incredible support system in my treatment and mental health improvement. I appreciate his timely feedback and approach to my needs and helps develop a plan towards improvement. Great partner and coach.
