Individual
Have you been carrying the emotional weight of your migration story for years? Maybe you’ve moved across cities, states, or countries, and each move left you feeling more disconnected from yourself. You might have taken on adult responsibilities too early, like translating for your parents, becoming a provider, or keeping your emotions quiet for the sake of your family. It’s exhausting to be the strong one all the time.
You may be navigating two cultures, two languages, or two versions of yourself, and still wondering where you truly belong. The stress, grief, or identity confusion that comes with migration isn’t something you’re just supposed to “get over.” Whether you’ve recently migrated or your story began years ago, therapy can be a place where you finally unpack the pressure, loss, and roles that shaped your life.
I’m Ivon Herrera, a bilingual therapist specializing in the emotional impact of migration. I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you identify what’s already working and EMDR to process trauma stored in the body and mind. Our work together is designed to be healing, focused, and grounded in your lived experience, so you can stop just surviving and start living life on your own terms.

FAQs
Do you take insurance?
We do not take insurance.
How do I pay for sessions?
You can pay with credit card, debit card or cash (if in person).
How much are the sessions?
Session are $175 for 50-55 minutes sessions
How often must I attend sessions?
It is recommended to attend weekly sessions for at least four weeks. After four weeks, you and your therapist will assess the benefit of weekly or biweekly sessions. In some cases, monthly sessions can also be scheduled. Monthly sessions are more likely for individuals that have attained therapeutic goals, but would like to continue having follow up sessions.
When can I get started?
We can usually schedule you within a week to two weeks from the time of your booking call.
How are the sessions offered?
You can select from virtual or in person sessions. In some cases, it may be more beneficial to have an in person session, but this will be discussed with you during your intake.
How long will I be in therapy?
Everyone’s healing journey is unique, and the length of therapy can vary from person to person. As a starting point, we generally recommend committing to at least 12 sessions (about 3 months). This gives us time to build a strong foundation, explore your goals, and begin to notice meaningful progress. From there, we’ll continue to check in together to see what feels right for you.
Can you see my children?
We see children aged 15 and older.
