Welcome
to Hermosillo Family Therapy, Inc.
About
Hermosillo Family Therapy was founded on the principles of providing accessible mental health services to the Los Angeles community. Our practice is led by Dra. Desirée Hermosillo, PsyD, LMFT. She is a Mexican-American psychotherapist born and raised in Los Angeles, and is passionate about giving back to the community that raised her. She started this group practice while in her doctoral program. She learned that being a bilingual therapist in Los Angeles, as well as being a human and animal advocate, was important to staying connected to the community.
At Hermosillo Family Therapy, we strive to bring accessible mental health services to our communities and make sure that everyone has access to the care they need. We also strive to create a safe and welcoming space for our clients and provide bilingual services in both English and Spanish. From anxiety and depression to relationship issues to trauma, we are here to help you through your mental health journey. Our goal is to provide accessible, affordable, and culturally-relevant mental health services to the Los Angeles area.
*We are currently only licensed in California and can only provide therapeutic services to those residing in the state.

Hola, and welcome!
My name is Dra. Desirée Hermosillo, PsyD, LMFT, I am the Founder and CEO of Hermosillo Family Therapy, Inc. I am a bilingual Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly a decade of experience as a mental health therapist. I am also a Psychological Associate, having completed all my required hours, and I am on the path to becoming a licensed psychologist.
My journey began with an A.A. in Child Development from East Los Angeles College (2011), followed by a B.S. in Child Development from the University of La Verne (2014), and a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy with a Specialization in Latino/a Family Studies from Pacific Oaks College (2017). In 2024, I proudly earned my Doctorate in Applied Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2020 and have been honored to serve individuals and families ever since.
Early in my career, I worked with foster and adopted youth, immigrants (new arrivals), adolescents, and families through community-based nonprofits in both residential and school-based settings. These experiences shaped my commitment to supporting clients through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma (including immigration and abuse-related trauma), PTSD, self-harm, grief and loss, and major life transitions.
After becoming licensed, I gained valuable experience in group practice settings and discovered my passion for private practice, where I could reach clients more flexibly, including through virtual care. In 2023, I also became a clinical supervisor, and it has been a privilege to mentor and guide the next generation of therapists. Building on that passion, I took a leap of faith and opened my own group practice, where we now combine high-quality client care with the training and development of future clinicians.
In July 2025, we were excited to expand by offering in-person sessions at our West Covina office. In November 2025, we opened our second location in Covina, CA, with plans to grow into the Northeast LA area in 2026.
At Hermosillo Family Therapy, our team is dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for individuals from all walks of life. We invite you to visit our [Meet the Team] page to learn more about our amazing clinicians and find the right fit for you.
