Hello, I’m Ruben Herrera, a graduate-level Mental Health Counseling student completing my practicum at Renewed Life Mental Health Counseling. I bring experience in behavioral health and substance use treatment, where I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate challenges, build healthier relationships, and create meaningful change.
I believe effective counseling begins with connection, trust, and a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can be honest about where they are. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools for positive change.
I also recognize the important role faith and spirituality can play in healing and growth. For clients who are interested, I offer a faith-based approach that respects their individual beliefs, values, and personal journey.
My goal is to meet clients where they are, build upon their strengths, and help them move forward with greater self-awareness, purpose, and hope. I see counseling as an opportunity not only to address challenges, but to grow through them and discover the possibility of a renewed life.
