(she/her)
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.
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.
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.
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.

Dr. Herrera was empathetic, a good listener as I talked most of the session and she had great solutions and understanding for my circumstances. I spent an hour trauma dumping on Dr. Herrera and she was patient and warm, yet direct and very good at keeping me focused and seeing patterns and keeping me encouraged in a very discouraging situation for me.

This was our first time with Claudia and both of our first time in couple's therapy, and I am very hopeful that she will give us the tools we need to have a healthy relationship.
