Getting to know Carmen Perez

I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, an MEd in Educational Psychology from McGill University, and a Bachelor’s from Concordia University. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs around mental health disorders to bring about meaningful change. I use CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Care, and psychoeducation to improve the lives of people struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other trauma-related disorders. I provide individual therapy to culturally diverse individuals ages 12 and older. My approach I combine CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Care, and psychoeducation to support people facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma disorders, tailoring my methods to each person’s unique needs. My focus Drawing from diverse work experiences, I provide compassionate services to culturally diverse clients, helping them navigate mental health challenges with empathy and respect. My communication style One of my main goals is to help clients feel respected and valued from the moment they begin therapy. I encourage clients to be assertive in expressing their needs and values, recognizing that diversity and disagreements are important and necessary parts of life. My journey to mental healthcare My journey in the helping field began about 20 years ago, working in various roles to support mental health. Throughout this time, I felt a deep desire to learn more and make a difference, especially when faced with complex situations. This passion guided my educational and professional path to becoming a therapist. My goals for you I use a collaborative approach to create a safe environment where individuals can express themselves and actively participate in achieving their goals. Through psychoeducation, clients can expect simple but effective homework exercises that complement their treatment and promote growth.
