Bluffdale Counseling Therapy

Wendy Hernandez, CSW

Wendy Hernandez, MSW, CSW

About Wendy:

Wendy earned a BS in Social Work and a BA in Psychology from the University of Utah in 2022. Then, to top it all off, she secured her Master’s degree in Social Work a year later. Having wrapped up three degrees in two years, Wendy has set aside the books (for now) and joined our mental health team at Families First Pediatrics.

Outgoing and personable whether she’s speaking English or Spanish, Wendy is always looking for new experiences and the next adventure. Even Utah’s unpredictable weather and scattershot seasons are a welcome surprise on a weekend hike. You can find Wendy anywhere good tacos can be found, including her own kitchen.

Wendy is up to date on the latest in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mind-body bridging, solution-focused therapy, and is experienced in dialectical behavioral therapy. Beyond the techniques in which she’s trained, Wendy aims to provide compassion, tools, and a comfortable space for her patients to be seen, heard, and to explore their authentic selves.

Parent Feedback

My wife and I love Families First. We have never had trouble getting last minute appointments when things come up for our kids due to the many doctors and locations. It’s so convenient. We also love our main pediatrician Tiffany Thomas and would highly recommend her to anyone else wanting help deciding on the many great doctors at Families First Pediatrics to choose from. You really can’t go wrong with any of them as we’ve been seen by a few different ones but Tiffany is overall our fave with her personality and our kids love how fun she makes doctor’s appointments.
