Getting to know Lehuanani Perez

Hi, I’m Lehuanani Perez—call me “Nani.” I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Southern California, offering Telehealth sessions for women (18+) statewide. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University and a Bachelor’s from California State University, San Bernardino. I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, especially those navigating life after a “late” or “missed” ADHD diagnosis. As a woman who was “late” diagnosed, I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can be to piece together a world not built for your brain. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches—Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strength-Based, Client-Centered, Neurodivergent Affirming Practice, and more—tailoring our work to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore tools and strategies honoring your unique needs, strengths, and experiences. Many clients spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or labeled lazy, emotional, or “too much” before discovering their beautifully wired minds. I help women navigate emotional and practical challenges accompanying a delayed diagnosis—from untangling internalized self-criticism and grieving the life they might have lived if diagnosed earlier, to finding ADHD-friendly strategies that honor their strengths. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can begin to thrive authentically. My communication style is warm, honest, and real—I’m human! I believe in being expressive and approachable, and I don’t shy from humor or excitement. Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or clinical; I strive to create a space where we connect authentically as humans first. My path to therapy began with my first experience in therapy, inspiring me to support others on their journeys.
