About Amanda Herrera, M.A., LPC-Associate

You love your family, but you also need your own space.

You are burdened by an overwhelming number of expectations and responsibilities, each one adding weight to your already heavy load. It feels as though just one more task or obligation could push you beyond your limits, leaving you on the brink of crumbling under the pressure.

Growing up in a family-oriented household, you are exposed to both spoken and unspoken cultural norms that imply a young girl should be seen and not heard. You quickly realize that womanhood involves enormous pressure to fulfill societal expectations, and anything less is deemed unacceptable. You are taught to normalize productivity, but as you become overwhelmed, you often find yourself hesitant to ask for help. Instead, you develop a fear of disappointing others, which leads you to maintain a perfect image at all costs. Your life is frequently filled with loneliness, exhaustion, and doubts about your worth and abilities.

Despite these factors, your sense of identity can go beyond your circumstances because we all have the innate power to grow, evolve, and become our best selves.

I help exhausted overachievers and people-pleasers find their true identity and value.

Prioritizing your mental health is incredibly important and shouldn’t be something you compromise on.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I am a second-generation Mexican-American therapist dedicated to helping women explore the complexities of womanhood and focus on their mental health. If it feels overwhelming to decide where to begin, please know that you don’t have to keep suffering alone in silence.

I am passionate about helping women stuck in ongoing cycles of anxiety, depression, or burnout to rediscover their passions and embrace their authentic selves.

If you’re ready to create a more fulfilling life, I would be honored to support you on that journey.
