Bianca Fernández Berryhill (she/her)

As a counselor, I use an integrative, person-centered approach that draws from humanistic and psychodynamic theories. I am interested in how a person’s past experiences have shaped their values and beliefs that have led them to become who they are today. I am a queer, Mexican American woman who is passionate about helping clients accept and embrace all parts of themselves. When working with clients, I practice cultural humility by striving to understand how race, ethnicity, and spirituality affect an individual’s view of themselves and their world around them.

In my free time, I enjoy playing with my two cats, Rainbow and Paul; making beaded friendship bracelets; and collecting miniatures and dollhouses.
