Berenice Torruco, LPC-A

My clients describe me as:

Nonjudgmental, understanding and supportive. I offer a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and heal from trauma.

Something to know about my approach is:

In therapy I focus on the here and now and the feelings in the present. My goal is to build a meaningful connection based on trust. Using CBT and the therapeutic alliance we will work together to resolve the issues in your life.

Together, we will:

Make sense of whatever it is you are experiencing. Whether they are feelings of depression, thoughts of worry, or trauma induced responses, we will work together to identify, challenge, and overcome unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

I specialize in working with people who:

Have experienced trauma in many forms. Most of my clients are adolescents to young adults. With the use of CBT, I focus on identifying trauma responses and implementing coping strategies to help you overcome trauma and make meaningful changes.

I became a therapist because:

I'm a natural empath who discovered my calling in high school while I struggled with my own issues. I enjoy being able to help and give back to others

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I currently only offer virtual therapy but my office is full of stuffed animals, books, and sensory toys. Its a calm space with plenty to do.

More about me and my practice:

After being a high school counselor, with limited resources, I decided to open my own practice and put both my clinical and school counseling skills to use. In my practice I am able to help students much more than I ever could in a school setting.
