Great to meet you!

Hello, I am Amanda Perez, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in issues such as trauma, women's issues, and anxiety. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma work to reduce distress. I work with adults navigating life transitions, past wounds, and present-day challenges—helping them reclaim a sense of safety, strength, and self-trust.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered principles. That means I meet you where you are, and together we work toward what matters most to you—with honesty, compassion, and practical tools that support real change.

What you can expect from me

Through telehealth, I offer accessible, confidential care to help you move forward at your own pace—whether you’re processing trauma, managing anxiety, or simply feeling stuck.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. When you're ready, I'm here to walk alongside you.
