Lupe Heredia

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. You can expect me to be calm, observant, and interactive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a trauma-informed therapist, meaning everything I do is steeped in consent, compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. I provide a non-judgmental space so you can explore and heal from whatever trauma you have experienced, including childhood neglect. Trauma may leave us feeling broken, but I believe they are simply fractures we can mend.

My goals for you

I believe in helping clients reconnect with their own innate ability to heal and live a content life. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights, and new goals will emerge.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you.
