Maria Angeles Herrera, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Maria!

I focus on promoting open communication and emotional awareness. I work with adults, teens, and preteens facing anger management, self-esteem, ADHD, family problems, and more. I create a safe, empathetic space where you can explore your challenges and grow.

My focus

I work with adults, teens, and preteens navigating anger management, self-esteem, ADHD, family issues, trauma, life changes, communication problems, domestic violence, immigration challenges, mood disorders, social anxiety, workplace stress, and young adult transitions.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Techniques like deep breathing and meditation. I also incorporate role play to help you practice new skills and address real-life situations in a supportive environment.

My communication style

I provide a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment. You can expect warmth, openness, and collaboration as we work together toward your personal growth and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

The significant impact therapy can have on others drew me to this work. I'm dedicated to creating a space where clients can enhance their communication and emotional awareness while supporting their personal growth.

My goals for you

I support you by setting goals together that align with your expectations for therapy. I seek to understand your hopes for our time together so we can work toward what matters most to you.

Our first session

During our first session, I use a biopsychosocial assessment to better understand you and your needs. This helps me create a safe, empathetic space where you feel comfortable sharing your story.
