Margarita Herrera is a therapist at Lyon-Martin Community Health Center in San Francisco. Read her story below:
As a first gen indigiqueer therapist, I experienced and have witnessed the mental health needs of my community. Concurrent with my own MH rehabilitation, I became passionate about accompanying others through their healing process. In response, I’ve committed to uphold, honor and advocate for QTIGNC2S+ lives and thriving futures through psychotherapy.
NUHW has been a safe place for me to develop my voice and confidence. I’ve developed my union organizing literacy through trainings and individual support.
