Perranesha Holifield, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Perranesha!

I've worked with adolescents, individuals, and couples in community-based and private practice settings. I currently work with adults who want to gain a better approach to their lives while going through difficulties with transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, trauma, and life rediscoveries.

My focus

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relational issues, and stress management.

My approach

My approach is warm and welcoming as this will help us build an organic rapport with one another. I'd like to describe my therapeutic approach as integrative and collaborative. This approach will allow the client to have an individualized experience.

My communication style

I like to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment that encourages my clients to move towards behavioral transformations without fear or apprehension. As a result, my clients will gain a positive outlook and adopt new attitudes and reactions within their lives.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've decided to become a therapist to help others who may not have any resources or experiences with therapy, especially in urban communities. I have always been drawn to helping others whether in my community or with family and friends. I enjoy seeing others becoming the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is a collaborative approach, where we work together to define what you want to accomplish. This often starts with building a trusting and comfortable relationship together.

Our first session

What clients can expect during the first session together is for us to spend the majority of the time talking about your needs and feelings in order for me to gain a better understanding of you.
