Dr Minerva Guerrero

Licensed Professional Counselor

“Professional and caring therapist to teens & adults treating trauma, PTSD, and anxiety.”

About Me

I offer a professional and caring space for teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. My aim is to help you understand and process difficult experiences, finding practical ways forward. We can work together to build resilience, reducing the impact of past events and easing present anxieties. Sessions are tailored to your pace, ensuring you feel heard and supported as we explore your unique path to healing.

Approach

I pace sessions to your rhythm, naming reactions and mapping small, practical steps forward so the work feels manageable. Sessions take place in White Plains, New York, with support available in English and Spanish. I blend structured skill-building with gentle processing—using paced exposure, grounding, and reflective exercises—to reduce overwhelm and strengthen coping between meetings. Many teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or life transitions find this steady, collaborative approach helpful.
