Andrea Herrera, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Andrea!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress management, and trauma work. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT to aid my clients in improving their daily functioning.

My focus

I've typically worked with children, adolescents, and adults who experience anxiety, depression, stress management, life changes, or have a history of trauma.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on each particular needs of my clients. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy based on the goals of my clients.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. It is extremely important to me that my clients feel comfortable talking with me about anything. Over the years of doing therapy, I've found my empathetic, non-judgmental approach to be one of my strengths.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I thoroughly love being around people and joining in their journey. I enjoy playing a part in each client's process of reaching their mental health goals.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is about hearing the needs of each client. This begins with building rapport and trust and entering into our therapeutic relationship. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time discussing what brought you to therapy, your current symptoms, and exploring questions to understand this more clearly. The first session is about building a relationship with a strong foundation.
