ML Psychological Services

MLH Psychological Services is directed by Dr. Laracuenta-Hernandez. We are committed to maintaining a diverse, equitable, and inclusive practice, both for her staff of clinicians and all clients. We offers the flexibility of remote therapy sessions and hybrid (in person and remote) psychological testing.

Dr. Melissa Laracuenta-Hernandez is a licensed school-clinical psychologist committed to promoting individual and community wellness. Her practice focuses on serving individuals and families who are often underrepresented in the mental health field such as those who are BIPOC, Latino/a/x/e, LGBTQIA+, bicultural, biracial, and first/second generation. Our clients are often ambitious, creative and curious. We work with teens, adults and families to help them navigate life stressors and conditions such as anxiety, trauma, complex trauma and imposter syndrome.

All of our clinicians value the therapist-client relationship as one that is genuine, connected and down to earth. We are always professional clinicians, but lead with humanity.

Dr. Laracuenta-Hernandez’s therapeutic approach is eclectic, which means that she draws from various parts of her training. She incorporates her experience and skills in psychological assessments with skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Positive Psychology. By the end of any meeting with Dr. Laracuenta-Hernandez, with either psychological assessments or therapy, clients will leave with a more clear sense of themselves.
