Jessica Perez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

My approach to therapy is direct yet understanding and respectful. I enjoy thinking outside the box and incorporating laughter when appropriate.

My focus

I am skilled in working with clients who struggle with personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship challenges, grief, addiction, and difficulties related to the LGBT+ community.

My approach

I have an eclectic approach to my therapy styles, often drawing from a combination of Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed approaches, Psychodynamics, Emotionally Focused Therapy, solution-focused, and DBT.

My communication style

My communication style varies depending on the mood of the therapy session and the needs of the client at the time. I work hard to create an environment that is safe, honest, respectful, and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them through their unique experiences. My goal is to support you in discovering your own strengths and building the life you want.

My goals for you

Goal setting with me is a collaborative approach. I leave room for the client to express their needs and offer goals from an additional perspective.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. This is your space to share openly.
