Getting to know Herschel O'Brien

My name is Herschel R. O'Brien, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Visalia, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, supporting individuals in their pursuit of self-understanding, relationship insight, and reaching their true potential. Using eclectic approaches, I help clients discover their uniqueness and manage depression, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, and impulse control. My approach to therapy varies based on each client's needs. I often support clients in understanding and integrating different aspects of themselves. When individuals can differentiate and connect domains such as emotions, relationships, memory, and narrative, it creates space to manage stressors and chart a path forward. I earned both my undergraduate and master's degrees in Psychology from Chapman University and have been a practicing therapist since 2017. I am open to working with anyone seeking to better understand themselves and discover their potential. My clinical experience spans clients of all ages and backgrounds. My communication style is calm, open, attuned, accommodating, and personable. I strive to make the therapeutic space inviting and safe. My journey to mental healthcare began with curiosity and a desire to serve others. Whether as a peer mediator in school, volunteering in my community and church, or being a trusted friend, I have always been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy supporting individuals in becoming the best versions of themselves. My goals for you focus on collaboration and clearly defining what you want to accomplish in our time together, often starting with building a strong therapeutic relationship.
