Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Practicing in Colorado and California. After more than 50 years in a variety of capacities in the mental health field. I enjoy working with just about anyone that comes through my door. I am always amazed and honored by the wide variety of individuals that enter my office. My strengths are working with adolescents, adults, and couples with all kinds of issues and concerns. I have a long history of working with men covering a wide array of concerns. An important focus of my work over the past 40 years has been work with intimate partners and couples in which one or both are survivors of trauma/abuse.

I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and young children and their parents. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them understand the root of their symptoms and suffering so they can move forward in building the life and relationships they envision for themselves. Incorporating mindfulness and acceptance, I work to help individuals change relationships with painful thoughts and difficult emotions so they can fully engage in what is meaningful to them.

Changes in relationships, starting a family, navigating a breakup, leaving for college, changing careers, or unexpected situations, to name a few- could elicit discomfort that makes us feel stuck, anxious, and/or depressed. Navigating life might feel difficult due to the uncertainties but we do not have to continue to feel this way. I firmly believe everyone has the tools within them to survive, thrive, process, and grow. Together, we will discover these tools, find tangible ways to achieve your goals, and gain clarity about the unknown while exploring your strengths and building resiliency toward healing and empowerment.

We all have challenging days and moments when we are not feeling at our best. Changing your thoughts and outlook helps change your feelings too! It is important to find the right fit in your therapy relationship; I approach sessions from a solution focused perspective and incorporate a CBT model to assist in changing self-defeating patterns of thought.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a deep understanding of mindfulness, the significance of culture and language, and the intricacies of intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, I aspire to help you explore yourself, maximize your wellbeing, and cultivate tools and practices that propel you to lead a life you love living.

Step into a welcoming, non-judgmental space to begin your journey of self-discovery and growth. Many of my clients are driven by a desire to explore their inner worlds, grapple with life's questions, and navigate personal transitions authentically while enhancing their connections. Whether you face challenges such as anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, or simply seek personal fulfillment, our goal is to be your guide. Discover your true self, gain clarity, and develop resilience as you embrace life's uncertainties with purpose and commitment.

Although we live in an individualistic society, each individual, with their unique personality and life purpose brings something extraordinary to the table of life. Each one of us is part of a bigger collective and we are responsible for constantly striving to mature and progress on an emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual level. As a result of these beliefs, I utilize a humanistic approach (striving to help people uncover, address, reprocess, and heal from their trauma to meet their highest protentional); while seeing healing through a holistic lens (working to help individuals heal by reconnecting mind, body and spirit).

EMDR-trained Therapist. Life is hard. It can be filled with transitions, challenges, anxieties, grief, depression, a past that just doesn't seem to leave you alone - just to name a few.

Do you sometimes find it difficult to express your needs, or even feel that yours are not important? Maybe you feel something in life is missing?

Are you struggling with overwhelm, gender identity questions, stuckness, shame, or patterns that don’t feel good? I am a queer, trans associate clinical social worker providing individual telehealth therapy to adults living in California. I partner with folks in navigating anxiety, PTSD, substance use, gender alignment, and other areas of concern. I help folks feel more at home in their bodies and aligned with their authentic self. I tend to connect most effectively with folks who are trans, queer, kinky, helping professionals, students, recent graduates, neurodiverse, artists, witchy, and/or spiritually inclined.

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges, build resilience, and create fulfilling lives. I help my clients navigate the complexities of a wide range of challenges, from depression and anxiety, to complex trauma, to chronic illness, and I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy to optimize cognitive, affective, and physiological well-being. Each person deserves individualized care, so I utilize a client-centered approach, actively listening to build a collaborative working alliance with you based on empathy and trust.

As a father, husband, son, brother, friend, colleague, and working professional, balancing life can seem like an insurmountable task. There are days I feel insufficient, inadequate, guilty, as if I could have done more…or less. There are times I feel like an imposter, like I don’t deserve the things that come my way. I ruminate. I overthink. And I wrestle with negative judgments and lowered self-esteem. If these issues sound like you, you’re not alone. My intention or hope is that through this process you start to feel seen, heard, adequate, and as if you deserve what you’ve earned.

My name is Obdulia Herrera, I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. Therapy is a place to identify what is causing difficulties and no longer serves you and choose what and how to discard and replace. I use a person-centered approach to start, this helps me understand the client's therapeutic needs. From there I use a variety of approaches depending on the client's need/fit; humanistic approaches.

Life can be difficult, confusing, full of changes and challenges at times. We can feel empty, scared, hurt and lost. In my therapy practice, I will create a safe space for you that will allow you to heal and grow. I will strive to provide a space that offers compassion and honest reflection, facilitates exploration of your story, promotes natural self-awareness and personal growth. I will be mindful of how your unique story affects your presenting issues and will provide culturally informed services.
