About me
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have been in the field for 16 years. I currently work as the clinical director of an agency that focuses on preventing children from being removed from their home and placed in county custody for events related to abuse and neglect. In the past, I have worked as a crisis counselor in the hospital, I have worked at private practices, and I have worked in the school setting. I work with children, adults, couples, and families.
I spent the past four years working with families and couples. Working with families and couples has been some of the most fulling work I have done. I believe that it is necessary to form a therapeutic relationship with all family members and both members in a relationship. I believe that each member is an expect on thier family or their relationship. Working with families and couples has shown me the importance of communication. I believe that most family members and couples know how to interact with each other, but can sometimes lack the communication skills needed to have what they are saying make sense to the other member(s).
My clinical style is direct and empathetic. I use a number of different clinical strategies and interventions to help my clients achieve their goals. I believe you are the expert of your life and your family and that my role is to support you and offer guidance. I believe that being allowed to participate in your life is a privilege.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Justin Hernandez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Justin is approachable, understanding, empathetic and very willing to get into the details. He is able to identify patterns and help me understand where things might have gone wrong. I recommend him to anyone seeking quality help.
Thanks.
Always very helpful and professional. I have been in therapy now for probably 14 years and I have done more growth and break through with Justin, then anywhere else in the two years that I’ve been seeing him!
Legit saved my marriage! And helped me sort out so many of my personal triggers and struggles and overall incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!
Relationships are complex. Open relationships are a whole different beast. When my husband and I wanted to explore non-monogamy after 17 years together, we knew we a therapist's guidance would be a huge help to arm us with the tools to protect and uphold our primary relationship. The insights we've gained through this process with Justin have been transformative, both personally and as a couple. We're learning more about each other and developing ways to better communicate through issues that arise. It's been so rewarding and fulfilling to begin this journey. And Justin's thoughtful navigation has given us a valuable roadmap to chart our way forward together.
I feel like Justin has been able to read between the lines during our conversations and have good insight to help make me think about the way I approach things. So far, I am very happy with his professionalism and ability to gently lead our conversations when I go off the tracks a bit.
Justin is the first therapist I’ve had (and I’ve had some therapists) that truly uncovered some root causes of the “why”s behind my feelings and actions. He’s been incredibly helpful in improving the communication between my husband and myself. I almost don’t want to share him, but I’ve been thrilled with the progress we’ve made.
Justin is immediately compassionate, validating, and supportive of multiple paths forward. I came to Justin after months of unproductive couples therapy and felt instantly more optimistic walking out of my first session with him.
Helping a lot through my journey , Professional and personal
Justin has been completely wonderful. He was very open and invested in helping my partner and myself better our relationship from the very first session. He is very easy to talk to, responsive, and definitely helps us identify our issues and understand ourselves better! Justin maintains a high level of professionalism and cultivates an open environment to safely discuss and work through our issues.
