Structured, evidence-based psychotherapy for Armenia's international community: online and in person, in English and Spanish. Burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and couples work.
About
Baseline Psychotherapy was founded in New York in 2019, is active in Singapore, and is now expanding globally, with Yerevan as its first new city. The reason is simple: Armenia's international community is growing faster than the English-language mental health support available to it. I have relocated six times across three continents myself, so the work this community needs is work I have lived.
I am J.R. Hernandez, psychotherapist, specialized in burnout and mood disorders: trained in Medical Neuroscience at Duke University School of Medicine, with the American Psychological Association's specialization in anxiety and mood disorders and a master's degree in emotional intelligence. My practice holds a 5.0 rating across 22 Google reviews, with clients in more than 21 countries.
Therapy in Yerevan
Relocation looks like logistics and feels like identity. Most of my clients in Yerevan's international community are professionals, founders, and families who keep performing while quietly running on empty: the move went "fine", but the energy never came back. That pattern has a clinical name, and it responds to structured treatment.
Sessions address burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, life transition, and relationship strain, in native English or Spanish. The method is process-based: a clinical assessment first, then a plan aimed at what keeps the problem in place, with progress measured session by session.
Services
When rest stops working: structured recovery for chronic exhaustion and the fog that comes with it.
For the alarm that never quite switches off: evidence-based work to retrain an overactive threat system.
For low mood and vanished drive: measurable treatment that restores function, not just feelings.
For reactivity, shutdown, or overwhelm: training regulation as a skill, grounded in emotional intelligence research.
For couples stuck in the same argument: structured sessions that change the pattern, not the partner.
For lives rebuilt across borders: clinical support for relocation strain, identity shifts, and starting again.
Sessions & Pricing
Sessions run online via Google Meet, and in person in Yerevan by appointment and availability, with evening and weekend times. Everything starts with a free 15-minute consultation.
Online via Google Meet · 30 minutes
One topic, full attention. A specific decision to untangle, a professional consultation on what you are going through, a follow-up between full sessions, or maintenance after completing a process. Goal-directed and solution-focused.
Book a Focused SessionOnline via Google Meet · 60 minutes
A focused 60-minute session tailored to your specific clinical needs, guided by assessment from day one. For burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, or life transitions, with expert guidance throughout.
Every session follows a defined structure: review of progress since the last session, a focused clinical target for the current session, practical tools or interventions applied in real time, and a clear direction for what to work on between sessions. You will always know what we are doing and why.
Adults dealing with burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, relationship distress, or life transitions. Sessions are available in English and Spanish, worldwide.
4 sessions / month · Online via Google Meet · 60 minutes each
Four sessions per month at a sustained pace, once per week. Built for clients working through depression, anxiety, burnout, or ongoing challenges who benefit from consistent weekly clinical support.
Four weekly sessions per month with priority scheduling. Each session follows the same structured format: defined focus, progress tracking, and practical direction. After every session, you receive a written summary documenting what was covered, what was identified, and what to focus on before the next session. This is clinical documentation designed for you, a tool for continuity and self-tracking.
Clients who have completed assessment and are in active intervention, or those in sustained recovery who benefit from weekly structure. The monthly commitment ensures the work builds consistently, which is critical when addressing burnout, anxiety, depression, or relational patterns. At $107.50 per session (vs. $120 individually), the plan rewards consistent engagement. Billed monthly.
12 sessions · Online via Google Meet · 60 minutes each
Twelve sessions designed as a complete burnout recovery arc. Includes assessment, structured intervention, skill-building, and progress tracking across a defined timeline with measurable goals.
Sessions 1–4 map the clinical picture: stress load, nervous system state, sleep, cognitive patterns, and the demands maintaining the burnout. Sessions 5–12 deliver focused intervention: somatic downregulation, behavioral restructuring, and cognitive work on the patterns that sustain the overload. The final phase confirms that recovery markers are holding under real-world conditions.
Burnout recovery requires sustained intervention across biological, behavioral, and psychological levels. A 12-session commitment ensures the work reaches all three phases, and at $100 per session (vs. $120 individually), the program reflects that commitment with a reduced rate. Payment can be split into two installments: the first at the start, the second at session six.
Free Screeners
Six validated clinical screeners are free on this site: depression, anxiety, burnout, wellbeing, and, for Spanish speakers, the TMMS-24 emotional intelligence scale. Private by design: nothing you answer leaves your device. Two minutes each, honest results, no email asked.
Client Reviews
Clients who came looking for structure, clarity, and a therapist willing to be direct about what the work requires and what it delivers.
"He invited me into a safe space where I could articulate the complex emotions I have been experiencing during this difficult season. He is professional but also like a trusted friend, caring, open, and non-judgmental, which made me feel secure in confiding in him. Using guiding questions, he walked me through a deeper search into why I view situations from certain perspectives. Following the session, he sent a summary report covering all areas discussed, including advice on steps to gain clarity and identify the actual root cause of my challenges."

"It has been one of the most rewarding journeys of self-discovery I have ever had. At first I was reluctant to do online sessions, but after a couple of sessions I found it even more convenient than in-person sessions."
