Getting to know Elsa Herrera

Hi there, I'm Elsa! My name is Elsa Herrera, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in San Jacinto, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My approach My approach is integrated and tailored to each client's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices like CBT to address anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Additionally, I use psychodynamic therapy to explore deeper emotional patterns, behavior therapy, and family therapy to support healthy, cohesive family dynamics. My focus I work with clients ranging from 7 to 70 years old. I’m most comfortable treating anxiety, depression, stress, behavior issues, and sleep problems. My communication style I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to achieve lasting change and emotional well-being. I’ve received positive feedback from clients who say they feel supported, heard, and understood in my sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I first became interested in becoming a therapist as a teenager during high school. As an immigrant, I had little academic support, but the counselor at my school provided me with additional guidance and inspired me to continue my academic career despite multiple barriers. Having received that support, I found it extremely helpful and was drawn to the supportive nature of this profession. I knew I wanted to help people and be part of their healing journey, which led me to pursue a career as a licensed clinical social worker. I have now been a therapist for 11 years and have grown into the therapist I am today. I continue this work because I genuinely enjoy supporting people who need additional guidance throughout their lives. I take pride in helping people heal from multiple conditions and supporting them throughout their journey.
