Véronique Nyounai-Herrera

Hello! I'm Véronique and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who loves helping clients shift patterns that no longer serve them, get to know themselves more deeply, and grow into who they want to be. 

 

My own personal lived experiences inspire the core of my therapeutic approach. I am a first generation American and grew up in Oregon in a multiracial and multicultural household which deeply shaped my understanding and compassion for people of various backgrounds and lived experiences. In early adulthood, I experienced disordered eating and understand how overwhelming and isolating this can be, as well as how possible recovery is with the right support. My practice centers around working with folks navigating experiences of anxiety, self-esteem struggles, perfectionism, and body image concerns, often as a result of trauma and the systems that exist in our world today. I also have a special place in my practice for working with folks navigating attachment and relational challenges who want to improve their connections with others, as well as those navigating chronic illness and the unique experiences that can come with it. 

My therapeutic style is warm, laid-back, and authentic. In our sessions, you can expect kindness, support, curiosity, challenge, humor, and collaboration as we work toward whatever goals you may have for therapy — whether that's something you can name now or something we discover together along the way. I use a blend of IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy approaches. Additionally, I am a certified Body Trust provider and utilize this framework for addressing food and body concerns, helping clients build a more compassionate relationship with themselves and their bodies.

Given my own multicultural and biracial identities, I am deeply committed to supporting diverse populations, and I bring genuine care and understanding to conversations around identity, culture, and belonging.

My practice is anti-racist, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, and HAES aligned — you are welcome here, and I'd be honored to be part of your journey.
