  • Psychologist

Welcome, I am Dr. Fernandez, or you can call me Laura. I am a licensed psychologist and the owner of Mindful Freedom. If you have suffered from narcissistic abuse, ethnic or racial discrimination, have gone through traumatic events or have low self esteem; I employ evidence based treatments to help treat these problems. I specialize in treatment of BPD, narcissistic abuse, PTSD, Anxiety and Depression.. My typical client is a person who has experienced trauma, has self esteem and boundary issues, has problems maintaining relationships, needs help asserting self, and needs guidance to make important life decisions. Hablo Espanol!

Most of my clients struggle with relationship/marital issues, depression, anxiety, panic symptoms, low self esteem, assertiveness, and boundary issues. I am LGBT affirming, and have extensive experience working with minorities, as I am a minority myself.

If you are ready to change your life, remember, this may be the single small step that drives you towards a big change in life. You have nothing to lose, except for an opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world around you. Questions? Please send me an email and I am happy to help you. I hope to see you soon! Laura.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
