About Anthony

Anthony Fernandez is a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 40 years of experience supporting clients across diverse cultures. Licensed in Arizona since 2004, he holds Clinical Supervision Authorization and Supervision Private Practice Authorization through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health.

He takes a holistic approach to healing, integrating physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health to address depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and problem behaviors. His work is rooted in the belief that whether wounds stem from family experiences or trauma in childhood or adulthood, healing is possible.

Anthony begins with listening. He matches treatment modalities to each client's learning style and adaptive strengths, tailoring every healing path to the individual. Together with her clients, he examines thinking errors and core beliefs that maintain unhelpful behaviors, working to replace them with healthier patterns.

In addition to his clinical practice, he has many years of experience training therapists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals in dual diagnosis, both nationally and internationally.
