I found Claudia from The Love Courses on Yelp during a very difficult period in my relationship. My then-fiancé and I were struggling, and Claudia reached out almost immediately after I posted my request. She was able to schedule us for an in-person session right away, which meant a lot during such an emotional time. Claudia is an exceptional therapist. She truly listens to both partners and makes each person feel heard and respected. At the same time, she isn't afraid to ask thoughtful, direct, and sometimes tough questions that get to the heart of the issue. While our relationship ultimately had several core challenges that couldn't be resolved, Claudia played a crucial role in helping us navigate that reality with clarity and compassion. She guided us through what she calls "uncoupling," allowing both of us to come to terms with the relationship ending in a healthy and grounded way. I'm incredibly grateful that we found Claudia, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking honest, skilled, and deeply compassionate couples counseling. read more

Claudia is AMAZING. My husband and I went to her for our first year of marriage (pre marital counseling) to ensure we were starting our marriage off strong. It was the best investment we ever made. Claudia is a great listener, provides excellent tools, and is always in both of your corners rooting you on. She utilizes cutting edge research to help strengthen bonds and improve mental health. One of the many things I love about Claudia is that she herself is always learning and taking extra classes and courses to strengthen her own toolbox of resources. My husband said, "the tools she's given us, we don't even realize we use them anymore because it's like muscle memory now." Life is truly about living to the fullest, most peaceful and joyful route and while you may not even think you need couples therapy, I can guarantee it'll help even the strongest of couples! read more

If you're looking to find love, looking to heal, or simply looking to experience something new in a gentle way.... As an executive running multiple businesses while attempting to maintain healthy habits and staying connected in being of service to others I have made 0 time to pause and have a real conversation with anyone about this: What do I want for myself when it comes to love? What do I want in a partner? What do I have to offer a partner? Frankly, I've never even used the word "partner" until I attended Claudia's courses. I had many jaw dropping moments throughout our daily morning sessions together where I could literally pin point where I had failed my relationships and ultimately myself. I had small bouts of self pity... no one taught us this growing up! Moving quickly passed that I was simply grateful I was learning it now. It's powerful. It's real. And it's life changing. My divorce has equipped me with all sorts of wonderful heavy armor around my heart space that I am now able to peel away to let in new experiences. I haven't dated since I was in college and I knew things were different now. I feel blessed to have been a part of the Love Courses in Bali. I left this beautiful island with so much awareness, peace and confidence about my approach to relationships. All relationships. I will be using my take home guide diligently as I step into the dating scene. Wish me luck. The gentle transition from content dialogue to spiritual experiences is best described as the icing on the cake. Bali is a spiritual place. You cannot hide from it. You can try, but it will find you and love you up... because it's Bali. On our last leg of this trip we spent 3 days on the beach. I feel that I stepped into the ocean, allowed myself to tread lightly while the Indian Ocean took my anchor away, the one I carried for so long. I came home lighter and more at peace with my past. I have a new found zest for life and it's border line obnoxious how giddy I am. The logistics about this trip were a big reason why I felt I could be comfortable in even being in my heart space. The only 1 thing I did on my own was buy my airline ticket. Even then, there was shared flight info among the group so we traveled together. That was it. I did No Planning on anything, (also new for me). Claudia and her amazing team took care of Every Single Detail. VIP airport service, VIP transportation, VIP events, VIP meal settings, etc. I felt completely taken care of and it was amazing. All of the excursions where optional and I'm so happy I opted in! They were spaced out just right, and if we felt like we needed an adjustment, Claudia and her team did just that. This entire Bali trip felt 100% curated to the customer experience. I am forever grateful for being made feel to be special. All my love to Claudia, Rachel and team. read more

Claudia has been very helpful for my family and I. She is caring and resourceful with all modalities of therapy. I highly recommend Claudia and as the wife of a physician who owns two psychiatric practices, she is the best! read more

So many great things to say about Claudia, a true professional in her field. After considering premarital counseling for months, My boyfriend and I finally decided to book a session. (He loves to say it's the best money he's spent). Let's face it, sometimes you need an unbiased person to check you. Truth shouldn't hurt if you learn from it. Claudia was able to help us communicate effectively and create a healthy relationship. Most impactful was self awareness to the previous traumas we otherwise never would have uncovered. I would also credit her for my changed mindset, helping me feel secured across my relationship and ultimately a whole new outlook on life. She has helped us create a flourishing relationship that is a perfect foundation to our future plans. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone in search of their higher self especially in their relationships. read more

Claudia is an amazing therapist, I first came to her with my ex boyfriend for couples counseling and it helped a lot. Unfortunately we weren't compatible. Later this year I came back for pre marital counseling with my husband and it went amazingly I could see how perfect of a match and it's because of the techniques I learned in my original session. I'm happy so say all the books she recommends are serious game changers for anyone in a relationship. Will definitely come back whenever I have tough matters to resolve in my marriage. Highly recommend. read more

After several failed relationships in which I spent many years -- proposed to three times yet never married! Yep, that was me! Each time feeling I gave my best yet time after time, found myself disappointed-- I finally considered hiring a professional to coach me through the process and grief. It was a difficult decision to make, however am so glad I finally made the choice to invest in myself and work on tackling one of life's most difficult questions: Who AM I in relationships? Claudia helped me see the areas in which I had 'blind spots' that were causing a tremendous amount of disappointment. She helped me become aware of these areas which gave me a new perspective in taking on an important goal in my life....finding true, lasting and unconditional love. Claudia's coaching helped me become a better partner. The most important thing I took from this experience is learning to LOVE MYSELF FIRST. Not only has this helped me in romantic relationships but in ALL relationships that require your best YOU. Every failed relationship was a reflection of my inner most fears and were a reflection of who I was then. Seeing that was not easy, however massively life changing!! Giving me freedom and peace in this area! I am so lucky I found her!! And, she was worth every penny. We don't think twice about spending on most things yet in the things that truly matter to us we often tend to sell ourselves short -- this coaching and therapy was one of best investment I've made. You can't put a price on love, ever! Thank you so much Claudia! Highly recommend!!! read more

I reached out to Claudia because I felt like my marriage was falling apart. We lived under the same roof but there was barely any real connections besides talking about our child. On our first zoom meeting (yes our whole entire course was all remote due to pandemic), my very quiet husband actually talked so much I was literally shocked. Over a dozen of sessions, we learned so much about our differences in thinking processes and expectations. I thought that my husband would resist the whole time, I guess that's Claudia's magic. She somehow made him open up and we shared laughters again. I'd recommend her to any couple. read more

Claudia was everything we wanted in a couple's therapist. After trying out 2 other therapists, we finally arrived at the right place. Claudia brought so much insight to our relationship and helped us see the hidden gaps. And she was there for us for all crises, large and otherwise. I cannot recommend Claudia enough. read more

We are so grateful that we found Claudia. A friend of our recommended her for premarital counseling which was such a great investment. Then more recently we worked with her to get through obstacles we were running into and work to become, what she calls, a "Master Couple". Her ability to get to the source of issues and explain why we felt the way we felt made the whole experience invaluable. We definitely feel like we have to tools needed to take on the future, and if we don't... we'll be calling Claudia, our trusted partner and friend! read more

Claudia is just amazing, an answer to my prayers. I absolutely recommend.................................

This review is long overdue. After my long-term (8 years) partner and I began to consider marriage, I panicked-- after all, my fam had a bunch of divorces and relationship trauma and I was fearful of repeating the cycle. I initially thought my partner was the source of my anxiety (is this right? Is he the one?), but after working with Claudia I realized I had some healing and inner work to do that had ZERO to do with my partner. I am thrilled to say that it's been a grueling ride, but it's possible to heal. I love my partner more than ever and feel cozy and secure about moving forward with the process of lasting love and commitment, and I've kept it up. I'm so grateful. Thanks Claudia :-) read more

Claudia is such a wonderful therapist. I came to her in deep relationship despair. We started a 6 week boot camp and now, 3 months later, after putting in so much work with her help, coaching and motivation, I truly feel like myself again. She encouraged me to put myself first and create boundaries I never thought I'd ever be able to do. I love working with her to continue overcoming generational trauma that became deep rooted. The great thing about roots is they die and new ones come to life, you just have to put in the work! She gives mr homework too, which I absolutely love!! I recommend her to anyone and everyone searching for deep meanings and powerful life lessons!! read more

My husband and I love Claudia. We started our sessions with her as a premarital couple and it help tremendously. Claudia was able to point out things we really needed to hear from an unbiased third party. She was there to talk us through what was happening and walked us through what would help our future marriage. She has been a godsend. Everything thing she has taught us and talk to us about has been helpful. We love her and recommend her to everyone!!!! read more

I don't even know where to start. When looking for a therapist during a very difficult time in our relationship, I was so scared that the therapist we went with wouldn't be a good fit, that the therapy would get us nowhere, that she'd be biased, or that it just wouldn't workout. We needed results, we needed a safe place and guidance in our relationship. Needless to say after our very first meeting with Claudia we saw amazing results within our relationship.. the energy, the love, the affection and the overall dynamic of our relationship was off to an amazing new start. It's not just therapy, there is an end goal you're working on, with her help and knowledgeable plan to get you and your partner to a better place, individually and together. We are on our 5th meeting and each week we see more amazing progress by applying her techniques and learning how to be better listeners, better problem solvers and show our love and affection to one another. Finding her was truly a blessing. read more

I appreciate what Claudia has helped me with and taught me! She is a great relationship coach and is so knowledgeable. After seeing her, my perspective on life changed and she helped me realize that my inner self love was much more important than anything else. This really turned things around in my relationship. I can't believe how much she's taught me and I am so happy to be at this point. I recommend seeing her 100% read more

I had the joy and honor of working with Dr. Claudia for a few months and it was hands down one of the most life changing experiences. Words truly can't express how much gratitude I have in my life because of this amazing woman. If you're ready to take the steps forward and apply yourself, Dr. Claudia will guide you on the path of understanding attachment theory and how to unlearn years of habitual behavior with actual results. Fast forward to one year later, I'm getting married in few weeks! She's the real deal and worth every penny!! read more

I had the opportunity to take the Love course that was was part of a Holy healing retreat. This was one of the most vulnerable spiritual experience I have ever encountered . This Bali journey has opened and enlightened the eyes of my heart. I have never felt so exposed, imperfect and mortal. It's not about religion, it's being human, learning love, acceptance and noble forgiveness. This was a life changing experience, if you are looking at getting to that next spiritual level, I highly recommend this ! read more

My husband and I are from San Antonio, TX and feel fortunate to have been introduced to a workshop led by Ms. Claudia Hernandez via teleconference. We really enjoyed the courses. She was highly knowledgeable in her profession ad very effective in reaching out to even the most private couples, such as ourselves. It was the best couple therapy experience we've ever had and I am extremely grateful for the incredible support and guidance which the Love Courses attributed in my husband and I's relationship, especially the second time around in our marriage. I highly recommend the Love Courses to individuals or couples seeking enrichment in their lives and relationships. read more

Claudia is great at teaching men and women how to decipher each other. She understands masculine and feminine energy and through her coaching has helped me take my relationship to a whole different level by gaining deeper meaning. As a man, it's not always easy getting in touch with my emotions, however, Claudia has showed me how to tap into them allowing me to open up and be vulnerable which has brought me closer to my girlfriend! If you're constantly finding yourself stagnant in your own personal relationships, I would give her a try! read more

Claudia is an excellent therapist. One of the most important traits that I look for is an objective listener . Claudia has helped me tremendously to find the answers to my dilemmas and issues within myself . She has helped me unlock and work on my past relationship issues and baggage so that I don't continue to carry them forward into my new marriage. I am grateful to work with such a great therapist . Everyone needs someone outside of their relationship who can help them develop or find the necessary tools to work on fixing and evolving themselves & their relationships . read more

I can't express how grateful I am for having the opportunity to attend Claudia's retreat in Bali. I had no idea what to expect from the trip, but I'm returning truly feeling excited for my future of possibilities.

I was lucky enough to have met Claudia about two years ago. She has done marriage therapy for my husband and I, as well as individual therapy for myself. She is honest, respectful, caring, and clear on her points. Claudia communicates so well, that my husband and I both have learned a lot about ourselves and each other. Having her guidance has made a huge difference in my life, and I'm thankful to have her! If you are looking to learn, change, or improve yourself or a relationship, Claudia will give you the tools to make a positive impact. read more

My fiancé and I were looking to get some premarital counseling before our Big Day and were so lucky to find Claudia. She is very knowledgeable in her approach and makes you feel very comfortable. Not at any point did I feel we couldn't share something with her. She took the time to listen to both of us and really created a safe place to discuss issues, concerns, and solutions. She tailors the sessions towards both solo and group sessions with your partner so you get the chance to give your perspective one-on-one, but then have sessions together with your partner. This was really beneficial, to each get our own time with her to discuss what we were feeling, but then reflect together in our group sessions. She would check-in with both of us outside of our sessions, making herself available to her clients after hours. Whether you are having serious marital/relationship issues or just looking for some useful tools to strengthen your relationship, I highly recommend meeting with her! read more

Claudia's coaching has helped me understand men and how to truly listen to what they are trying to communicate with us women. She helped me identify my masculine energy and what I can focus on to bring a balance. She has so much knowledge on building great relationships and has great techniques which have helped me greatly. Thank you Claudia! read more

Claudia is easy to talk to and has so much to give! It is easy to see that she loves what she does as a counselor. I have just celebrated my 14th year of marriage and she has seen me when hitting year 14 seemed pretty impossible to me. I've grown and matured and have learned a great deal from her about the energy I bring into the relationship and learned practical techniques to building an even stronger partnership with my husband. When you know where you may be going wrong then you know where to focus your energy. Definitely check out her one on one sessions. read more
