Mejken Hernandez

Clinical Outreach Specialist Lead

As an Outreach Specialist Lead, I have a strong passion for mental health advocacy and education. I entered the mental health field in 2016 and have since gained diverse experience across multiple areas of care, including substance use treatment, adolescent and adult mental health, eating disorders, and most recently, OCD and anxiety.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and am an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW), actively working toward full licensure. In my current role, I focus on building relationships with providers and increasing awareness around evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety-related disorders.

Outside of work, I am a proud dance mom to my seven-year-old daughter, whose competitive dance schedule keeps me on my toes—literally and figuratively.

Generalized Anxiety Treatment in Long Beach, California: What Works

Generalized anxiety disorder treatment in Long Beach, California often begins with a client who cannot make a decision. Not a life-altering one. A normal one: which contractor, which school, whether to send the email as written. They have researched it exhaustively, sought several opinions, and are no closer than they were three weeks ago, because the goal was never a decision. It was certainty, and certainty is not available. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treats this pattern directly, and clients in our intensive outpatient program experience a 64% average reduction in symptoms.

Panic Disorder Treatment in Long Beach, California: Find Relief

Panic disorder treatment in Long Beach, California is sought by adults every week, and it is needed just as often by teenagers whose condition has been called something else. A 15-year-old with panic disorder does not usually announce it. They ask to go to the nurse, complain of stomach aches, refuse to ride the bus, get labeled dramatic, and start missing school. Panic disorder frequently begins in adolescence, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treats it effectively at that age, with clients in our intensive outpatient program experiencing a 64% average reduction in symptoms.
