Dr Jose Hernandez, PMHNP

The present scientific understanding of psychiatric disorders in all ages is that there are multiple causative factors underlying symptoms manifestation, which are identified under three categories: biological, psychological, and social contributors. My clinical area of interest is developing a practice where we incorporate the above-mentioned understanding. Creating such a personalized practice and treatment plan will require the approval of the doctor, the patient, and their family, as well as the active involvement of other providers in the care of the patients. As I have a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry, I tend to gravitate toward the psychiatric care of children and adolescents, especially those impacted by trauma; however, due to my training and years of experience, I feel capable of effectively responding to the whole spectrum of psychiatric disorders including ADHD, anxiety, depression, and substance use within any age group.
