MYRA HERNANDEZ

​

“(My husband and I) are soaking in every moment of parenthood and cherishing this special season of life.”

​

Family is at the heart of Myra Hernandez’s life. Wife and mother of a daughter, Myra also relishes her role as an aunt to seven nephews, encouraging them and creating lasting memories while “leaving the parenting to their parents.”

​

Combining family time with travel and immersing in nature is Myra’s way of slowing down, recharging her battery and appreciating the beauty of God’s creation. You can also find Myra in cozy coffee shops enjoying a cup and in in-depth conversations with family and friends.

 

“These activities leave me feeling restored, refreshed and re-energized…..it is important to intentionally make space to slow down, be present, and invest in the people and experiences that matter most.” 

​

An avid reader, Myra loves learning and is always eager to absorb new knowledge and perspective. It’s one of the way she supports her continued personal and professional growth. 

 

At age 15 after experiencing a significant personal trauma, Myra discovered that people naturally gravitated toward her because she has a way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued. Her interest in human behavior, healing and resilience grew with her studies in psychology in college. 

“I began to recognize not only the pain I had endured but also the resilience God had been building within me all along.That journey inspired me to become the kind of counselor who could hold up that same mirror for others — to help them recognize the strengths, hope and resilience that can be difficult to see when they are in the midst of pain."

​

As both a Christian and a counselor, Myra has seen the truth of Romans 8:28 (And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose) lived out time and time again. “Some of the deepest wounds can become the very places where compassion, strength, and hope are born."

​

Myra measures success by the relationships she builds. When clients begin to truly relax and reveal their authentic selves she realizes that trust is growing and that her clients know they are safe to be fully themselves. She believes that this is the moment when meaningful healing begins. 

​

“Being a counselor is more than a profession for me — it is a God-given calling. It is a privilege that I never take for granted, and I remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside people as they discover hope, healing, and the person God created them to be.”
