Kari Perez

My name is Kari Perez and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland. I graduated from Loyola University with my Master's in Science - Counseling Psychology in 2011. I have worked in a variety of settings including, residential, outpatient, and virtual outpatient with clients ranging from teenagers through adults. Through these settings, I have the most experience with anxiety, depression, stress, motivation, self esteem, addiction, and helping work on life skills.

I utilize a multi-modal approach, being able to pull from multiple theories to find the strategies that best fit the person and situation. My strongest belief in a therapeutic relationship is that the client is the expert in their experience and I am there as a partner to try to understand as best I can and provide support. I use my experience to help clients create and meet the goals they desire. I enjoy working with clients who are looking for help becoming their best self.

In our first session, my goal is to better understand what you are experiencing and the goals you would like to work towards. I try to make sure there is time also set a goal for the week and to begin actively working towards your longer term goals.
