About me

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California. I have over 13 years experience in counseling families, children, teenagers and individuals. I have over 10 years of experience of working with At-Risk-Youth and their families in community and detention settings. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, parenting issues, relationship problems, trauma, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Mood Disorders.

My counseling approach is person centered and solution focused. I am eclectic in my approach and use other modalities as well in therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Matrix Model for addiction.

I pride myself in treating everyone with respect and compassion. My counseling style is interactive, warm and understanding. I meet my client where they are in their emotional journey. We work together to address challenges and change negative perceptions that do not serve them well. Helping you become more confident, joyful and
create a peaceful life.

I believe in creating a space where we can have difficult conversations and you feel heard and understood. It takes a lot of courage and strength to reach out and ask for additional support. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your journey and trusting me with you most pressing issues.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Renette Herrera. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

Renette is the best therapist I’ve ever had! Sessions with her feel like talking to the a wise life coach, and also a friend. She’s helped me really re-evaluate and fix how I think and look at situations, and I can confidently say she has improved my quality of life and would be a great therapist for anyone trying to look inward and change their life for the better!

Maya is thrilled. I would like to have more regular feed back during the week. Maya might appreciate some words in between sessions.
