Estrella Perez, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about working with people from all walks of life. My drive for getting into private practice was giving back to the Latinx community. I strive to build a therapeutic and accepting relationship that guides clients on their journeys, helping them uncover strengths and find healthy coping strategies. I have worked with young adults who have struggled to find their way and assisted them in managing their anxiety, build their self-esteem, and establish healthy relationships. I hope that I have the pleasure of working with you and helping you work through these very real and difficult aspects of life while guiding you in finding the tools that work for you. I do not focus on using only one modality (as individuals are not all the same) and I do not hold the expectation that any treatment modality is a one-size-fits-all. Rather, I get to know my clients and use various aspects of modalities then tailor the work to fit the individual. I strongly believe that by doing so, I can successfully engage my clients and help them feel seen, heard, and safe in the work we do together. For clients who are bilingual (English/Spanish), I encourage them to express themselves as they feel comfortable, in English, Spanish, or Spanglish! I do not shy away from reflecting on how culture and upbringing also affect our views/perceptions of mental health and the relationships/expectations we have for ourselves and others.

Currently seeing clients virtually in NY, FL, and TN
