Does life feel hard but you have no idea why? Do you have trouble finishing things or with organizing yourself? Are you looking for psychological testing to help you to get test accommodations or to figure out why things are difficult? Are you looking for a therapist who understands neurodivergence? Do you want someone to help you to set goals and establish healthier habits? Dr. Laracuenta-Hernandez will incorporate her experience and skills in psychological assessments with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.
I specialize in connecting with those who have difficulties with executive functioning and emotions. I provide both psychological testing and therapy to support you in your growth.
We will set realistic goals together that are tailored to your own life in a way that feels easy and simple. We want to help you to improve your health mentally, physically and professionally.
