My ideal clients are individuals who struggle with self-worth, trauma, or just feel stuck. Although I specialize in adolescent mental health, I also work with adults and children with the goal of drawing to the surface each individual client's unique awesomeness. For me, that moment when a client discovers and connects with his/her/their power is the ultimate success.

I am an English & Spanish speaking counselor providing services for families, couples, and children/adolescents.
Amid the ups and down and trials of life, it is easy to succumb to the, "If you think that the grass is greener on the other side" mentality. Well, it's time to water your grass. Although events can affect our lives, a true master of the art of living learns to weather the ups and downs and not allow circumstance to control our relationships, and more importantly, our own self-worth, dignity, and willingness to put one step in front of the other. Counseling is an avenue to help yourself achieve this control over your life. Please visit my website for more information regarding my services: allanheremlmft.site

My use of Sandplay and art, and my work with very young children makes my practice unique.
Many people feel disconnected from their true selves going through life looking o.k. on the outside but feeling awful on the inside. This causes all kinds of symptoms: depression, irritability, anxiety, alienation, boredom, dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, and disinterest in life. Through our work together, I help you to access deeper parts of yourself which can bring back vitality and meaning into your life. Problems often arise from childhood issues or from life transistions; college, marriage, birth, divorce, or death of a loved one. Through developing a deeper connection with yourself suffering can be transformed into growth and strength.

Hi! As a parent, it can be heartbreaking seeing your child live through these difficult times or any other traumatic event and no longer seem like the person you once knew. They shut down or get angry without reason. They have difficulties sleeping or seem anxious. Especially during the COVID pandemic, they may be spending all day in their room. Even though you try your best to figure out what's going on and support your child, nothing seems to help. As a result, you and your child might feel lost and alone. Therapy can teach new skills to help your family through this difficult time and become even more resilient.

Play therapy is extremely helpful for children who have experienced diverse issues.
When you are worried that your child is not at their best and may be suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety or behavioral problems, it can be difficult to know what to do. Making the decision to put your child in therapy can be a difficult one that comes along with fear of judgement, failure and anxiety. At the same time, we want what is best for our children and we want them to grow and succeed in life. It is my goal to assist children and families to be healthy, happy and thriving.

I find that art and play can be a meaningful mode of expression and reflection for children, teens and families.
It can be hard growing up in Los Angeles and dealing with the intense pressure of school, family and friends. It's also hard trying to be an adult, working to establish one's self and feel comfortable in saying, "This is who I am, this is who I want to be." We all come through this process with different stories, experiences and perspective. I love to work with families and individuals on this journey. I have over ten years of experience working with families during their deepest moments of pain and confusion, joy and growth. These years of work with a diverse set of people and needs helps to inform my interactions with clients.

Whatever your child or teen is struggling with, I can be an additional resource to help them grow emotionally.
No matter your age, life can be unpredictable and take you on difficult emotional journeys. For children and teens, expressing emotions verbally can be even harder due to their developmental level. Situations like divorce, moving, a death in the family, school problems, friend issues, etc., often lead to negative behavioral changes or withdrawal. This is often due to their inability to express themselves properly. My role as a therapist is to create a comfortable and safe place for my clients to process their emotions and explore their inner selves in a way that promotes healing.
