Paula Herrera

Masters Level Therapist | Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor | Spanish Speaking

Bloomingdale/Bolingbrook

Throughout the many years I have been in this field, I have worn multiple hats. I have experience in residential, detox, substance, PHP, IOP, outpatient, inpatient, and crisis work. I have found much joy working with wonderful people spanning from young children to experienced adults, individually and with families. I aim to be the pillar of support and the calm in the storm that people seek in times of need. I work with clients to identify their needs, create goals and give clients the confidence to achieve the change they wish to see. I am an optimist but realistic person and my therapy modalities reflect that.

Why I Chose to Become A Therapist

Personally coming from a family with a lot of mental health issues extending the many roots of our family tree, I worked hard to be the source of serenity that my family has long needed. I am a bilingual [Spanish] Mexican woman, I am the proud wife of a Marine Veteran, and the mother of a beautiful little girl. They have motivated me to be someone that others can come to for help.
