Welcome! Summit Mental Wellness was founded in 2025 by myself, Dr. Jacinda Hernandez.

I am dedicated to guiding you through these challenges, helping you find your footing, build resilience, and discover a path to peace and lasting well-being.
Areas of Treatment Focus
-
Women's Mental Health and Reproductive Psychology
I specialize in women's mental health, deeply focusing on reproductive psychology. This includes supporting well-being through all stages of the female reproductive system, from pregnancy and postpartum to broader lifespan challenges.
I am certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International and have post-doctoral training in fertility counseling and coping with reproductive losses.
-
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety treatment targets pervasive worry, fear, and uncertainty disrupting daily life. Depression treatment manages persistent sadness, hopelessness, and anhedonia, which diminish quality of life. Often co-occurring, their combined burden feels profoundly complex.
-
Grief and Trauma
Treatment will support you in navigating grief and/or trauma reactions. We'll work together to process the profound impact of loss and overwhelming experiences, helping you find healing, build resilience, and reclaim a sense of peace and wholeness.
-
Military Service Members and Their Families
Treatment acknowledges the unique experiences and challenges faced by military personnel and their families, offering tailored support.

Whether you're a first-time parent preparing for a new baby, or a seasoned parent managing multiple or older children, all are welcome.
