Andrew Perez , LCMHC

Andrew Perez enjoys staying active outside of work, with hobbies that include running, hiking, reading, and writing. Family and travel are important parts of his life, and those personal interests inform a grounded, relatable approach to helping others. He has nine years of experience working across a range of mental health settings, including a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital serving children and adults, and community-based programs supporting at-risk children, teens, and their families.

Andrew holds an LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and brings a practical, strengths-focused perspective to therapy. He believes identity, family dynamics, and social connection are central to well-being, and that cultivating a healthy view of oneself and one’s relationships can meaningfully influence mental health. Thought patterns are another key focus in his work, and he often uses techniques drawn from Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients build toward their potential.

His practice is informed by a broad array of therapeutic models, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential approaches, and trauma-informed modalities. Measurement-based care and insights from neuroscience also guide his work. In sessions he partners with clients to identify strengths, explore interests, and develop daily routines and skills that support lasting change and improved functioning.
