Getting to know Lesley Perez
Hi there, I'm glad you're here.
I'm a Bi-lingual (Spanish speaking) licensed clinical social worker with a passion for supporting others. Have you been struggling to feel entirely like yourself lately? You're not alone. Whether it's navigating every day stressors or addressing more severe symptoms, our work will focus on helping you build insight, confidence, and actionable strategies.
We'll use evidence-based practices, such as TF-CBT, CBT, and DBT, along with a holistic and strengths-based approach. I believe in focusing on you as a whole person rather than focusing on just a “problem.”
I value the therapeutic relationship, so we will work together to allow you the space to open up. As a first generation Latina myself, I value diversity and recognize how different cultures and religions can impact our mental health.
What should a new client know about working with you?
First sessions can be intimidating, so I want to make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Before we begin, it is important that I explain the rules of confidentiality and privacy. Then, our first session will focus on getting to know each other and understanding the therapeutic process. In order to better understand your situation and what may be bringing you to therapy, I will be conducting an initial assessment. This initial assessment will last about an hour and will ask you some questions about yourself and potential symptoms you may be experiencing. I make sure to take this session at your pace. Any questions or concerns you may have will happily be answered on this day and at every session.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
