About

My name is Melissa Pérez and I am a Bilingual (Spanish & English), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I identify as a Queer Bisexual Mexican-American.

 

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC, particularly Latine. My therapy approach centers cultural humility, & social justice, abolition & liberation orientations (pro Palestine). I’m trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ identify affirming & poly-friendly. I am sex positive, & kink aware, & I follow a client’s lead in engaging in age appropriate discussions.

Through my personal and professional experience, I have come to understand that most of us want/crave to feel seen, heard, & accepted.  Validation & affirmation from others can help. However, the deep work & healing part of our individual journeys lies in being able to validate & affirm ourselves, all of our identities, & lived experiences. In our lives, as we continue evolving & changing as individuals, we reach points where the coping strategies we have previously used, & that have helped us survive at one point, may no longer serve us, & can actually interfere with our ability to connect to ourselves & others.

 

I want to collaborate with you & create a safe space for you to process your identities & lived experiences. I hope that through our work together you are able to become a more authentic version of yourself, where you are able to more deeply connect with yourself & those around you. I am excited to connect with you & support you on your journey.
