Channing Herrera, LMFT

Channing Herrera is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with over 10 years of experience supporting people through difficult emotional transitions. She focuses on empowering adults, women, and parents with compassionate, evidence-based approaches that address anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, grief, and major life changes.

Herrera places emphasis on helping clients build self-understanding and uncover unresolved burdens from the past. Her work is oriented toward healing attachment challenges, reducing anxiety, and identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. She also supports transformative interpersonal exploration to help people relate to themselves and others with greater clarity and compassion.

In session she creates a supportive atmosphere where difficult emotions can be explored while practical coping skills are developed to support ongoing growth. Her methods draw from person-centered and solution-focused work as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), honoring each person’s unique path and strengths.

Through collaborative and individualized therapy, Herrera guides clients toward meaningful personal growth, increased self-compassion, and emotional healing, working to turn challenges into opportunities for deeper self-discovery and resilience.
