Raquel Herrera

General health psychologist who supports people seeking to better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and develop a kinder relationship with themselves. Her goal is to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where each person can explore their concerns, make sense of their history, and move toward a more balanced life that feels true to who they are.

Throughout her career, she has worked with people experiencing social vulnerability and with clients living with severe mental health conditions. These experiences have helped Raquel develop a deep sensitivity to human suffering and strengthened her commitment to individualized therapeutic support.

She sees therapy as a unique and personal process. Rather than following rigid formulas or standardized solutions, she recognizes that each person has their own pace, resources, and circumstances. Her role is to provide respectful, warm support tailored to their needs.

“I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the foundations of change. That is why I pay particular attention to creating an environment of trust where you can feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.”

Therapeutic approach

I specialize in EMDR therapy, an effective approach to treating trauma and experiences that continue to affect the present. My work focuses on helping you process what you have been through so you can relate to your history with a greater sense of safety, understanding, and freedom.

I integrate tools from IFS (Internal Family Systems), mindfulness, and self-compassion, always tailoring the therapeutic process to each person’s individual needs.
