Citlali Herrera(She/Her/Hers)

Citlali (seet-la-lee) Herrera, LCSW, works with millennial and zillennial women who feel unseen, unheard, or disconnected from themselves after years of prioritizing others. At the heart of her work is a guiding belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to be seen and to live a fully authentic life. Many of the clients she supports grew up in emotionally immature or unpredictable family systems where love felt conditional. As adults, this often shows up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxious attachment, guilt around having needs, or difficulty feeling fulfilled in relationships. Clients seek Citlali when they are ready to break these patterns and begin relating to themselves with more self-trust and compassion.

Citlali’s approach is integrative, relational, and grounded in a mind-body-spirit framework. She draws from psychodynamic therapy, somatic practices, reiki, consciousness, and psychospiritual work to help clients understand how early relational experiences continue to shape their nervous system, sense of self, and relationships. Her work emphasizes slowing down, naming what has gone unspoken, and creating space for clients to reconnect with their needs, boundaries, and emotional truth.

In addition to weekly psychotherapy, Citlali offers hypnotherapy intensives, ecotherapy, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when clinically appropriate. These modalities are always optional and introduced thoughtfully, based on each client’s goals and readiness. Citlali is a certified hypnotherapist, reiki master, shamanic practitioner, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, and her work is informed by both clinical training and long-standing engagement with contemplative and ancestral wisdom traditions.

Citlali offers virtual therapy throughout New York and New Jersey, as well as in-person walk-and-talk sessions in Westchester County.
