Getting to know Susan Herrera

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas, holding a Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington. I believe that every person has the inherent capacity for growth and healing and can access their strengths. Through self-awareness and change, individuals can lead fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as those navigating significant life transitions such as career changes or relationship difficulties. While I primarily work with adults, I also support adolescents and young adults facing challenges related to identity, school, or early adulthood pressures. My approach draws from a variety of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for its practical, structured methods, and Person-Centered Therapy, which fosters empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe that by developing awareness of thought patterns and fostering self-compassion, clients can create meaningful, lasting change. In sessions, I emphasize collaboration, empathy, and an individualized approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. Ultimately, my goal is to empower clients to build resilience, navigate challenges, and lead fulfilling lives. Many of the individuals I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or the effects of past trauma. I also support clients experiencing major life transitions such as career changes, divorce, or loss. I believe that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the healing process. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, fostering a safe space where clients can explore their challenges without fear of criticism.
