Karla Perez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karla!

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist. I strongly believe that every human being is worthy and should be living their best life.

My focus

I work with individuals coping with depression, anxiety, adjusting to major life changes, interpersonal relationship problems, healing childhood traumas, self-esteem, parenting, grief and loss, among others.

My approach

My approach to therapy is eclectic and culturally sensitive while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Mindfulness-Based, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-informed approaches. I believe every human being is unique, and so is their healing journey.

My communication style

Together, I believe we can help you heal from past emotional wounds that are not allowing you to be who you truly are. Therapy with me is a safe place where you can explore your deepest emotions, thoughts, and feelings without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My experience spans outpatient mental health programs, non-profit agencies, field-based community programs, and private practice, working with adults, families, and children.

My goals for you

My goal is to give you a chance to see yourself for who you truly are and support you in living your best life. I aim to provide a therapeutic space for healing and personal growth.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to explore your unique story, challenges, and aspirations. I will listen with empathy and work to establish a strong therapeutic alliance as the foundation of our work together.
