STAFF - Coral Gables

Ellie Hernandez was born in London, UK, and raised in Miami, Florida. She is currently studying Psychology with a minor in Business at Florida State University. Her passion for mental health developed through hands-on experience working with youth as a summer camp counselor and has continued to grow through both academic and personal exploration. In addition to her coursework, Ellie is an avid reader with a deep interest in books about psychology, the subconscious mind, and mental health. This curiosity fuels her desire to better understand the complexities of human behavior and emotional well-being. 

 

She recently spent a semester abroad in Valencia, Spain, where she gained a broader perspective on mental health across different cultures. Ellie is especially drawn to exploring the long-term effects of trauma and the ways in which early life experiences shape individuals throughout their lives. Her goal is to pursue a Doctorate in Psychology and work in a clinical setting, helping others heal through evidence-based practices and compassionate care. She is committed to making a meaningful impact in the field by advocating for greater mental health awareness and accessibility.
