Jason Perez, LCSW — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Jason!

Do you want to break free from all of the negative, constant chatter in your mind? I help clients think, see, and ultimately feel in new ways. My goals are to help you improve your self-esteem, cultivate compassion and optimism, and set goals toward becoming the best version of yourself.

My focus

I work with working people, helping them overcome barriers to success in work, family, and community. I also specialize in young people transitioning to adulthood, as well as couples.

My approach

I mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I also supplement it with Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

My communication style

I try my best to make my sessions feel like human conversations with someone who cares. I meet clients where they are at and let them guide conversations to wherever they need.

My journey to mental healthcare

I lived in New York City when 9/11 happened. I saw how much pain that event caused, and it made me want to dedicate my life to helping people. I have worked in human services my whole professional career. I do not plan on ever changing.

My goals for you

I help clients establish SMART goals for themselves - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timebound. I prefer to identify and address goals as quickly as the client feels ready for it.

Our first session

My clients could expect me to prioritize getting to know them as a person first and building a connection. When they feel ready, we can get into the reasons why they've chosen to start therapy.
