An experienced counselor that listens.
My name is Amber Herrera, I have been a licensed therapist for many years, and over the years the feedback that I hear from people is therapy needs to be more accessible. I have created a program that allows all people to receive some level of guidance. Life can be gritty and tough, and we all can use a little help at times. My approach is raw and real because that is what my client’s have expressed helps them. The combination of real life experiences and educational background helps create a comfortable and true experience while providing tools and techniques that can help people through their challenges. My hope is that I will reach as many people as I can with my programs and different offerings. I hope you all enjoy The Grit.

IS COUNSELING FOR YOU?
Have you asked yourself any of these three questions?
Isn't everyone sad?
Is it normal that I no longer have desires to do things I use to do?
Why am I having trouble sleeping?
Why does it seem like I can't "turn off" my mind and relax?
How do I reconnect with my spouse?
Is it too late to regain our connection?
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Amber work and what does therapy look like with her?
I complete an intake and establish goals with the patient during the first session. Then each week I give them "homework" which is just tools that the patient can use and see how these tools fit into their lives. I break goals down into smaller steps so by the end of therapy hopefully they have reached their goals without being overwhelmed.
What are tools?
These are skills that can help regain the balance in our lives. They are also skills that help counter anxiety and depression. Every patient is different so I suggest a variety of tools to each individual in order to see what works for that person.
Can she see an individual and eventually see other members of my family?
I can see a couple together and as individuals as well, as long as both parties are comfortable and agree to this decision. I cannot discuss in the couple's session what was said in each individual session unless the patient requests. This goes for families as well.
What payments do you accept?
I take cash and I also have a payment square. I will take payment at the end of our session. Also, if there is a no show or frequent cancellations there will be a $160 charge. This will be invoiced to the patient and can be paid at the next appointment or the payment can be made over the phone. The reason for this charge is to protect my time and also because that appointment could have been used by someone who really required the services.
