Judith Heredia, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Judith!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I commend you for taking it. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, anger, and heal from domestic violence. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I work closely with you to tailor each session to your unique goals and challenges.

My focus

I specialize in supporting teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and past trauma. Whether you're building coping strategies or setting personal goals, I'll collaborate with you to create a growth plan that feels both empowering and realistic.

My approach

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is a practical, hands-on approach that equips you with tools to manage your emotions and behaviors more effectively. I may also integrate mindfulness practices and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you find solutions best suited to your goals.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to foster a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and create space for reflection, partnering with you empathetically. You can count on me to remain calm, patient, and grounded.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a desire to support others during difficult times and ensure they never feel alone in their struggles. I've worked with individuals navigating substance use, domestic violence, and anger management. I'm continually inspired by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and work toward goals that matter to you—whether that means improving relationships or focusing on another personal priority. As you gain new insights, your goals may evolve, and we can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it stays meaningful and relevant.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and build rapport. We'll talk about your background and what brings you to therapy. This is a process we'll build together over time, at a pace that feels right for you. I'll be here to guide you through each part of the journey.
