Yilian Herrera
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to manage your emotions, relationships, work, family expectations, and everything else at the same time. You may look like you have it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I’m Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they have spent a long time putting everyone else’s needs before their own.
I create an inclusive, culturally responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming space where teens and adults can explore anxiety, burnout, identity-related concerns, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm without fear of judgment.
First session
Finding the right therapist starts with feeling truly seen, and that's exactly what you can expect here. My approach is client-centered and humanistic, which means our work together starts with you: your story, your pace, your needs. You won't be judged. You won't have to explain or justify who you are. Whatever your identity, culture, or life experiences, they're welcome in this space- not as something to work around, but as part of what makes you..YOU
Strengths
Life doesn't hand you a manual, and sometimes it feels like too much to carry alone. Maybe you're in the middle of a big transition and don't recognize your own footing anymore. Maybe anxiety or depression have been quietly (or not so quietly) running the show. Maybe you're carrying something from your past that hasn't fully let go of you. Or maybe you're just trying to figure out who you are, underneath everyone else's expectations. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to have it figured out first.
Ideal clients
I work with teens, young adults, and adults who may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or disconnected while trying to manage the pressures of daily life. Many of my clients are high-achieving individuals navigating stress, burnout, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or difficult life transitions. I provide an inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally responsive space where clients can feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal and grow.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In sessions, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, better understand how thoughts impact emotions and behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Humanistic
I also incorporate a humanistic approach by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their personal growth. Together, these approaches help clients build self-awareness while working toward meaningful and lasting change.
