About me
I am a licensed professional counselor and have worked in and with various populations and settings of the mental health field. I describe my treatment approach client
directive as I believe people are in control of their own lives. I prefer to use and focus on trans-theoretical models of solution focus behavioral therapy, cognitive recovery oriented therapy, motivational interviewing, and embracing change therapy. I have a passion to help individuals who are ready to get back to themselves as I believe everyone has the capacity to find their own truth, challenge negative belief systems, and learn more about their capabilities. My specialities range in treating individuals who have difficulty with cultural and gender identity challenges, adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, neurodevelopmental needs, and life stage changes.
I look forward to taking that next step with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marissa Herrera. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Marissa is an incredible listener and has a joyful and understanding presence. I would not be as far along in my healing journey if it wasn’t for our sessions! You can expect her to be thoughtful and affirming during your sessions, and she will also help guide you back on track with your goals!
Marissa listens to my primary concerns and tries to understand the bigger picture of my issues, too. This really helps us come up with resolutions or plans to get there. I highly recommend Marissa!
Marissa is a great listener and I always feel better after our weekly chats
Marissa is so down-to-earth and helpful! She gives really practical advice, and she's a fantastic listener.
Marissa Herrera helped me understand that the emotions I felt were okay. I am 20 years old and going through major life changes. Marissa helped me work through the causes of why I felt conditioned to hold myself back. She is also the first therapist I’ve ever had. She’s been extremely helpful through this whole experience, and I hope she can help others in the future.
Marissa is an amazing person who knows how to really listen and keep me on track. I really enjoyed my therapy with her.
Honestly very comfortable expressing or venting out my emotions., she listens doesn't interrupts just glad I meant her in life , ....
Professional, gentle, yet straight to the point. The quiz was on point when I got matched with her.
I am so grateful to have been matched up with Marissa. She is extremely knowledgeable and wise. I feel like she truly understands me and has been a huge source of support and encouragement.
Marissa is the first therapist I've had in my 15 years of counseling that genuinely listens to my troubles and concerns and takes them seriously. Even after just a few months, I've been able to make improvements in my life through her treatment. She's great with depression, ADHD, anxiety, and LGBTQ+ issues. Thank you so much Marissa!
Marissa is awesome!! She listened to my problems and helped me with LGBTQ+ issues in an extremely comfortable setting and is just very easy to talk to. Thank you Marissa!
Marissa has been very supportive and has been pushing me in the right direction. Inspiring me to do what is best for myself.
