Welcome! I’m David Fernandez, a graduate student at the College of William & Mary and a counseling intern at the Falls Church Wellness Center. I help adults of all ages and backgrounds create meaningful and fulfilling lives by providing a safe space to explore identity, practice new ways of relating to themselves and others, and overcome the things that get in the way of their authenticity. As a queer, neurodivergent person of color, I value creating culturally-affirming spaces for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and BIPOC communities. My holistic and person-centered approach invites you to bring your whole self into our sessions. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as an exercise physiologist, helping individuals with chronic health conditions regain confidence in their bodies. This experience deepened my commitment to supporting clients build self-trust and resilience - whether in the context of health challenges or other areas of life like relationships and wellbeing. If you're ready to take the next step toward greater calm, clarity, and confidence, please message me to schedule a phone or video consultation or to set up an initial appointment. I look forward to meeting you!
