Breanna Herron, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Breanna!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who offers a warm, supportive space to slow down and make sense of what you’re carrying. I help clients feel more grounded, understood, and better able to move through life with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

My focus

I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, burned out, or stuck in painful patterns. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate relationship stress, self-worth, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of earlier experiences.

My approach

My approach is relational, compassionate, and practical. I look at how past experiences, relationships, and current stress shape what you’re going through, while also helping you build tools to cope, communicate more clearly, and create meaningful change in daily life.

My communication style

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale, be yourself, and feel truly met without judgment. I’m thoughtful and gentle, while also helping you stay connected to what matters and where you want to grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in 2018. I began my work in addiction treatment and later spent years in community mental health, which deepened my passion for offering care that feels both meaningful, accessible, and deeply human.

My goals for you

I help clients clarify what they want, understand what may be getting in the way, and take realistic steps toward change. Together, we build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create goals that feel personal, manageable, and supportive of lasting growth.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to begin getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’d like support with, and what you hope will feel different. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and gently supported from the start.
