Mark Perez, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Mark! My name is Mark Perez, LCSW 91261. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My approach to therapy is straightforward, compassionate, and empathic. I also enjoy using laughter when topics become heavy. My approach My therapeutic approach focuses on strengths-based and problem-solving techniques, but it really depends on the situation the client is working through. My focus My focus is broad—I enjoy working with teenagers through the elderly. I love listening to the stories and looking at the faces of the people I’m working with. It tells me a lot about who they are and how their issues have affected them. My communication style My communication style is blunt when needed and compassionate when needed. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist is pretty interesting. I was enrolled in a psychology class when I first heard of Sigmund Freud. In the lecture, the professor spoke about Freud’s id, ego, and superego. I found his concepts very interesting, so I kept enrolling in psychology classes until I had to decide whether to pursue social work or finish my original goal of becoming a history teacher. My goals for you When it comes to treatment planning, I will sometimes follow the client’s lead. But if the client is unsure what the treatment plan should be, I like to provide some ideas. I will not pressure the client to choose the treatment goals I want or what others want them to work on. My first session with you During the first session, you can expect an introduction from me, and then I want to hear what you want and need from therapy and what you hope to gain. I always share that it’s up to you to decide if this partnership is the perfect fit. I also encourage you to speak openly about your needs because now you have a voice.
