Sarina Tran Herman

Licensed INDEPENDENT social worker (she/her)


I believe in therapy that is client based and client paced. All are welcome here!

Hello! I am Sarina Tran Herman (she/her), a dedicated therapist specializing in working with young adults experiencing life transitions who want to break the chains of self-doubt and overthinking. I aim to provide a supportive space to those processing patterns or challenges rooted in cultural experiences and upbringings.

As a therapist, I recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity and the impact it has on mental health. My approach integrates culturally-informed practices with evidence-based modalities. Having worked extensively with clients from different backgrounds, I understand the interplay between cultural identity, family dynamics, and mental well-being. Whether you’re struggling with acculturation issues, intergenerational conflicts, or the pressures of cultural expectations, I am here to offer guidance and support.

I am deeply committed to promoting mental health awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness within different communities. By providing a safe and culturally-affirming space, I strive to create opportunities for healing, growth, and self-discovery.

TRAINING & EDUCATION

Armed with a degree in Social Work from the Ohio State University, I embarked on a deeply rewarding journey working with children, adolescents, and young adults in a therapeutic setting. Drawing upon my education and passion for helping others, I’ve dedicated myself to making a positive impact on the lives of young people facing various challenges. Through empathy, patience, and evidence-based interventions, I aim to create a nurturing environment where each individual feels heard, understood, and empowered to overcome obstacles. If you’re seeking support from a therapist who understands and honors your cultural background, I invite you to reach out to take the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Let’s work together to cultivate positive change and embrace your authentic self!

I specialize in the following modalities:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Family Systems Theory
