Yaritza Herrera-Renteria

My communication style

My communication style is warm, compassionate, and genuine. I create a nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while also offering gentle, honest feedback when helpful. I value open communication and will meet you with curiosity, empathy, and respect throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this field by a desire to understand people’s stories and help them feel less alone during difficult moments. My journey has allowed me to work with children, adults, and families across different levels of care, strengthening my belief in the power of connection, resilience, and having a safe space to heal.

My goals for you

I believe therapy goals should reflect what matters most to you. Together, we’ll identify your needs, strengths, and areas you’d like to change, then break your goals into realistic and manageable steps. We’ll celebrate progress, work through barriers, and adjust our approach as your needs evolve.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know you and creating a space where you feel comfortable and heard. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and any concerns you may have. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
