I’m Stephanie Hernandez
I WANT to empower your journey
Heyyy, I’m Stephanie Hernandez, MA, LCPC—a bilingual, bicultural Latina therapist providing telehealth for Latinx/BIPOC communities in Illinois. I founded Chicago Therapy Nook with community at the corazón because I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly gets it.
I help BIPOC, especially Latinx individuals, heal from generational trauma and rediscover joy and meaning because life’s too short not to. I also offer mentorship coaching for students and new grads in mental health (¡you got this!). Let’s heal, grow, and thrive juntos! 💛
My passion is centered around supporting diverse communities, including First Generation individuals, undocumented/immigrant families, and underserved populations. In my practice, I specialize in providing compassionate and culturally responsive care, focusing on creating a safe space for healing and personal growth.
