“I had my first session with Amelia this week and left feeling genuinely hopeful. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt calm, welcoming, and professional. Amelia took the time to explain how the process works, asked thoughtful questions, and listened without interrupting or rushing me. What stood out most was how safe and understood I felt, even in a first session. They balanced empathy with practical guidance, helping me clarify what I want to work on and outlining a clear path forward. It didn’t feel clinical or impersonal — it felt collaborative. This was a very positive experience. I’m looking forward to continuing the work.”

Getting to know Amelia Garcia Peralta

I believe therapy is a healing space— one where you can slow down, feel safe, and begin to understand yourself more deeply. I work with individuals and couples seeking growth, clarity, and meaningful change, offering bilingual (English & Spanish) therapy in a culturally responsive and affirming environment. My greatest strengths come from integrating the approaches I love most—psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I am skilled at helping clients explore the deeper roots of their patterns, understand how past experiences shape their present, and develop new, healthier ways of thinking and responding. My ideal clients are individuals seeking a space where they can slow down, reflect, and gain deeper understanding of themselves. Many feel overwhelmed by anxiety, avoidance, or emotional disconnection, yet are ready to explore the patterns that keep them stuck. I work best with those who desire deeper, authentic relationships —both with themselves and others.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $135 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $135 for 45 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

i booked for a court evaluation & was told “months of therapy” is required in order to receive a court evaluation & paid out of pocket. this court case is extremely contentious and in proceeding currently. don’t have time to go to therapy for months for a court evaluation that zocdoc explicitly offers as a stand alone service. if long term therapy was the goal - that’s what i would have booked for. this was not for long term therapy and the therapist refused to give a court evaluation despite the fact that i paid for one.
