Emanuel Herrera

Emanuel Herrera, Master’s Level Intern at Lifeologie Counseling Rockwall, provides bilingual counseling in English and Spanish for children, adolescents, and adults. He specializes in depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions, and supports clients impacted by intimate partner violence, bullying, and identity-related concerns, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Emanuel uses CBT, person-centered, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and play therapy techniques, tailored for each client, to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can heal, grow, and thrive. He works extensively with young adults and professionals facing challenges related to self-worth, stress, and life purpose, as well as those caring for aging parents – a role that often involves complex emotional and relational dynamics. 

In his work with children and adolescents, Emanuel incorporates play therapy techniques to encourage emotional expression, build trust and communication, and foster healing. He believes that play is a child’s natural language and an essential tool for helping them explore their inner world and process emotions in a safe and developmentally appropriate way.

Emanuel earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Excelsior University and his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand View University. 

Deeply committed to fostering resilience and connection, Emanuel helps clients build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. He offers flexible in-person and online counseling sessions to meet clients where they feel most comfortable.

Outside of the therapy room, Emanuel enjoys exploring art museums, cooking and experimenting with new recipes, traveling to discover new places, and spending time with his family. These activities bring him joy, creativity, relaxation, connection, and a sense of groundedness—values he also brings into his work with clients.
