Dr. Herrera also owns Telement, a company partnering with schools to provide both on-site and in-school virtual therapy support for at-risk students via telehealth. Her training gave her the knowledge and ability to work within the school system, providing support to students in the environment in which they spend the majority of their time. Research indicates that students receive most of the mental and behavioral support within the school setting. Thus, Telement therapists can connect with students no matter what contact preference the student prefers: in-person or virtually.
As a mother of four college-age children, Dr. Herrera is very familiar with supporting loved ones through stressful moments. Dr. Herrera is well versed in taking the perspective of parent, child, teacher, or student to assist in increasing effective communication between all parties. Within the school setting, she provides support to students and teachers on how to manage anxiety during uncertain times.
Given that families are still recovering from the recent pandemic and catastrophic storms as well as increasing reports of emotional distress in youth, Dr. Herrera’s mission of reducing barriers to therapeutic support has become more urgent. Through her businesses and personal connections, Dr. Herrera hopes to pave the way for youth emotional health and personal growth.
Dr. Herrera believes in prevention and psychoeducation to facilitate environments in which children can flourish. She is available to speak at conferences, meetings, schools, retreats, and other special events.
