Luis-Enrique Herrera, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Luis-Enrique!

I believe in meeting everyone where they are, not using a one-size-fits-all approach. Once we agree we're a good fit, we'll engage in a collaborative journey while recognizing that you are the expert of your own experience. I'll be there to explore, challenge, and support you and your needs.

My focus

I work with adults, teens, and families presenting with depression, anxiety, trauma, and high conflict. My focus is toward working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

My approach

I use a relational approach with interpersonal and psychodynamic techniques. We'll explore your history in-depth to understand the impact of certain relationships and events. As we proceed, we'll address conflict, engage in healthier behaviors, and work to integrate your experiences and improve your quality of life.

My communication style

Fit is important in making therapy work. I promote a warm and inviting environment that allows for growth and honest engagement. I'll be there to explore, challenge, and support you and your needs as we work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've been involved in sports throughout my life and originally worked in sports medicine, where I thought physical health triumphed. Through personal experience, I realized how significant our mental health is and how impactful it can be to our bodies. This encouraged me to shift my career to improving mental health.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative effort and an ever-evolving process. We regularly check in on the progress of goals and identify both progress and barriers throughout our sessions.

Our first session

In our initial sessions, we'll set up the outline for treatment, including expectations, responsibilities, and policies to ensure quality care. We'll explore your history in-depth to understand the impact of certain relationships and events, then look at addressing conflict, engaging in healthier behaviors, and integrating experiences.
