Leslie Perez holds a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. She takes a relational and integrative approach to mental health. She has worked with individuals across the lifespan and honors the unique lived experiences each person brings. Leslie is committed to creating a supportive space where clients feel empowered to advocate for themselves, embrace their autonomy, and experience a deep sense of belonging.
I use an integrative approach in my work. She typically draws from interpersonal, psychodynamic, CBT, trauma-informed approaches and internal family systems. I have developed a skillset for working with clients who are navigating issues related to grief, loss and identity development.
I work collaboratively with my clients to develop measurable goals which work for them. Our first few sessions will be getting to know you and the details surrounding your reason for seeking therapy. In understanding this, I will work with you to create objectives that will enable you to attain your main goals.
