I. Alexis Hernandez Rueda LMFT-Associate, LPC-Associate

My clients tend to feel like they haven’t fully fit, often misunderstood in their environments. The stories we tell ourselves are very important, often they are stories that others have told us or placed on us. I believe that there is power in taking back our story and discovering what aspects you wish to keep or change. I approach therapy in an existential and narrative lens, with somatic and mindfulness influences to create a safe, inviting, and culturally sensitive therapeutic relationship. Some of my clients are discovering who they are, where my role is to give you a safe, inquisitive playground to explore parts of yourself. Other clients understand themselves, but may struggle living their true self in different contexts. Ultimately, I pay close attention to the why underlying your narrative to identify the meaning in what you bring up. Sometimes, these intersections are particular visible in our relationships. I offer couples and family counseling using a transgenerational lens & Gottman Institute techniques for pre-marital counseling. I offer free 20 minute consultation calls to discuss our goodness of fit.

I identify as a queer, Latine, first-generation graduate based in Austin, Tx. Como Chicanx, ofrezco terapia bilingüe en Inglés y Español. Mi entrenamiento profesional, en su mayoría, ha sido en Inglés. Debido a esto, habrá instantes donde utilice el traductor. Esto es para asegurar que el lenguaje sea una herramienta para entendernos, no un limite. Si tiene dudas o preguntas acerca de mis servicios bilingües, ofrezco consultas (20 minutos) vía llamadas gratuitas.
