Marina Hernández | LPC
Marina Hernandez, LPC, is a bilingual therapist offering both in-person therapy in Chicago and virtual sessions across Illinois. As a Mexican-American clinician, Marina is passionate about breaking the stigma around mental health in the Latinx community and making therapy feel approachable, not intimidating.
Her approach blends gentleness with structure. Marina uses culturally responsive and trauma-informed methods, drawing from CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. She helps clients work through anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles, often supporting those who feel overwhelmed by responsibilities and unsure how to ask for help.
With a calming presence and deep respect for your lived experience, Marina creates a space where healing feels possible, at your own pace, and in your own words. Her goal is to help you reconnect with your strength, your needs, and your voice.
"There is no shame in needing support. You deserve to feel peace again"
