Intro
Hello! I'm Dr. RB Hernandez, and I'm delighted you've found your way here. As a licensed psychologist specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder evaluations in Florida and New York, I bring both professional expertise and genuine passion to my work with individuals seeking deeper understanding of themselves.
I believe that every person's neurological makeup is as unique as their fingerprint, and understanding these differences is key to embracing one's authentic self. With over 15 years of experience in psychological assessment and evaluation, I've dedicated my career to helping people discover and celebrate their true nature, moving beyond simply "masking" or trying to fit predetermined molds.When you work with me, you'll find a warm, engaging environment where your experiences and perspectives are valued and understood. I take pride in creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while we explore your unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world. Whether you're seeking clarity about your cognitive style, looking to better understand your strengths, or exploring challenges you may be facing, I'm here to partner with you on this journey of self-discovery.Let me be your guide in uncovering the patterns that make you uniquely you. Together, we'll work to gain insights that can help you live more authentically and confidently.
My approach to psychological evaluation centers on discovering and amplifying the unique strengths that each person brings to the table. Rather than viewing autism through a deficit lens, I focus on understanding how your distinct neurological makeup contributes to your special abilities, perspectives, and ways of experiencing the world. Drawing from my extensive background in analytical psychology and the integration of authentic expression, I help you uncover the inherent wisdom in your natural way of being.In our work together, I create a space where your experiences are not just heard, but deeply understood and valued. I believe that true growth comes from building upon your existing strengths rather than trying to conform to predetermined expectations. Through our collaborative process, we'll explore how your unique cognitive style has shaped your experiences and identify the specific gifts that come with your neurological differences.When you work with me, you'll find that I don't just conduct evaluations – I engage in a journey of discovery with you. I bring my training in multiple languages and cultures to understand your experience from various angles, helping you recognize patterns that might have previously been overlooked. My goal is to help you understand yourself more fully, not to fit you into a standardized box. By focusing on your strengths and authentic self-expression, we work together to create insights that empower you to live more confidently and genuinely. This isn't about fixing what's "wrong" – it's about understanding and embracing what makes you uniquely you, and using that understanding to help you thrive in your own way.
