This is how you begin
Investing in yourself
“How can I invest in myself through therapy?”
Taking care of your mental health is incredibly important and shouldn't be something you compromise on.
Seeing therapy as a normal part of life, rather than a luxury, encourages you to prioritize your well-being.
Just imagine breaking free from the exhausting cycle of burnout. Visualize a life where you wake up feeling energized, motivated, and confident. It's more than just a distant dream; it's within your grasp!
I am deeply passionate about empowering and uplifting women of color as they work to feel complete and fulfilled.
I understand the real challenges we face as women of color, and above all, I am committed to building our resilience.
Hi there! I’m Amanda Herrera, M.A.
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Mark Cagle, LPC-S
I understand that challenging stereotypes and addressing generational pain can be an ongoing process, especially as you explore different parts of your identity. But please know that your resilience, cultural heritage, community connections, and empathy are truly exceptional.
I want to work with you in a healing space where we can honor your unique experiences and focus on your overall goals.
You're not alone on this journey—I'm here to support you and provide the tools you need to thrive!
“I think I want to start therapy.
How do I begin?”
Step 1:
Consultation (30 minutes) — Free
To become my client, I recommend beginning with a consultation call. Once you book your consultation, we can assess if we're a good fit to help you achieve your personal goals.
This video consultation will explain session rules and what to expect. You will also have the chance to ask any questions about the therapy process.
This brief meeting will help ensure that you clearly understand what to expect during your sessions and how to get the most out of your therapy experience.
If you decide to work with me, we will then make arrangements to meet on a set schedule.
Step 2:
Intake Session (60 minutes) — $170
Once you complete the consultation call and submit the required client intake documents, we will schedule your 1-hour intake session.
The intake session initiates our therapeutic relationship and aims to create a strong foundation for your journey. During this onboarding meeting, we'll focus on identifying your goals for therapy. We'll also review your personal history to help me understand you better and grasp your needs.
Step 3:
Individual Session (50 minutes) —$160
After establishing you as a client, we’ll create a schedule tailored to your needs, ensuring we meet at appropriate times and intervals. During our sessions, we will work together to explore the issues that brought you to counseling. In sessions, I will help you gain insights, confront unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies to manage life’s challenges better.
