Welcome! I am glad that you are here taking a step towards change. I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than twenty years of experience. I graduated from the University of Southern California. I have worked in a wide range of areas supporting POC and the queer community. I have helped clients manage and cope with challenging emotional issues, life transitions, and relationship problems. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I bring together the experience of working in forensics, HIV health, and the LGBTQ community.

First session

If this is your first time trying therapy, you will soon realize that you are simply having a conversation with a person that knows how to listen and wants to get to know you. I will help you share your concerns and identify areas that you believe need change.

Strengths

I am a strong supporter of communities of color and minorities. I bring together the experience of working in forensics, HIV health, and the LGBTQ community.

Ideal clients

I greatly enjoy working and have experience treating adult clients of diverse social backgrounds and ages. I have been supportive of minorities such as POC and LGBTQ. As a Latin X provider, I am able to provide culturally sensitive treatment to Spanish speaking clients.

Treatment methods

Eclectic

As my client you will be able to learn about yourself, gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions while working towards your goals. I will support you in this process through the use of a variety of therapeutic techniques.

Maria is awesome, I love her approach, she instantly made me feel super comfortable and allows me to share it all without interrupting, which unfortunately I’ve had in the past with other therapist… I like to be derail when sharing my thoughts and working on condensing as much as possible but my brain is very detailed it appears lol Maria has helped tremendously in my journey to healing past traumas and I love that she challenges my decisions in the best way possible.

Ms. Herrera deeply considered what I shared with her and what I have tried in the past, and suggested tools to support me without pressure or judgement.
