Meet Your Therapist
Berenice Torruco, MS, LPC (she/her)
I begin therapy by understanding where you are and the challenges you face.
Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” them. Here you will feel safe and validated. Using approaches such as EMDR, and ERP, I will help you feel whole again. My goal is to help you put a plan in place that will help you move forward. We will be a good fit if you are looking for therapy that is warm, honest, and friendly but with a direct approach. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where you are free to explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns at your pace, knowing that you will be met with empathy and understanding.
Life doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
