About Layla
Layla Hernandez is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor practicing in Colorado. She brings 10 years of experience in mental health settings and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self esteem concerns. Layla also has experience in first responder and military contexts and aims to treat each person with respect and compassion.
Her work is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and real skills people can use between meetings. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Layla also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people tolerate strong emotions and reconnect with what matters to them. She adapts the plan to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. That means you can expect concrete strategies, gentle challenge, and opportunities to practice new habits.
People who reach out often want help managing stress, coping with life changes, or recovering from trauma and abuse. Layla offers support for mood disorders, compassion fatigue, identity and LGBT concerns, and a wide range of relationship and family-of-origin issues. She aims to create a respectful space for people from diverse backgrounds.
If you decide to start, she will work with you to set priorities and build skills at a manageable pace. The focus is on steady progress and tools that fit into everyday life.
