I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, practicing in Florida and California. I have a PhD in Family Therapy. I have been working with clients in social and mental health settings for more than 20 years. I have experience working with diverse populations (different cultural backgrounds). I work with individuals, couples, and families facing grief, depression, anxiety, anger, life transitions, stress, problems in their relationships with relatives, co-worker/classmates, and trauma, among others.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the initial session, I explain the confidentiality and teletherapy policies to my clients. My clients have the opportunity to ask questions related to the therapeutic process. My clients share information about their family, work/school, social life, hobbies, goals, and dreams. We discuss their reason for therapy, their expectations, and preliminary therapeutic goals. My goal during the initial session is to create a safe space (non-judgmental) for my clients to feel comfortable sharing their feelings and thoughts.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a compassionate, caring, and positive professional. I respect and honor my clients' stories. I like to learn from my clients' experiences and value their contribution to my professional life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I like to work with diverse populations with different cultural backgrounds. I trust my clients' ability to use their internal and external resources to overcome difficulties and pursue their goals. I enjoy being part of the healing journey of my clients dealing with trauma.
Relational
I am a systemic family therapist with an educational background in strength-based, solution-focused, and relational approaches. I believe that my clients are the experts in their lives and that they have the necessary resources to overcome difficulties and move forward.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I facilitate meaningful and solution-focused converstations with my clients so they can work on their concerns and achieve their goals.

I've tried therapy before and had little to moderate success, but Claudia has completely changed my views on therapy for good. She's so kind, considerate, an incredible listener, and has an impressive memory. She's very wise and astute and delivers her help in a healthy, encouraging and positive way that makes you feel seen, heard and understood. If ever human cloning becomes legal, I suggest we start with Claudia Herrera :)
