Shaquinta Thomas Perez

Hello. It's nice to meet you! I am excited to begin our work together as we take the important steps to improve upon your life goals and self-identified journey of healing. Wherever you want to go, I'll be with you!

My style of therapy is very open and friendly and warm. I would find it very difficult to be the stereotypical, stoic psychotherapist. I can only be myself and my absolute true self is easy going, friendly, humorous and very empathetic. If you joke, I will laugh and if you cry, I will most likely cry along with you. But don't worry! I have the skills to manage my own emotions. If you are concerned about having an impact on my life and well-being, don't (and we will work on that in session).

My goal is always to understand you and get to know you for who you truly are. At times, we may share that same goal. Because of the work we will be doing together; working through trauma and/or through anxiety disorders such as OCD, I will ask of you vulnerability and trust, but I also plan to earn the privilege of gaining your trust in order to see and work with your vulnerable true self. It will not always be easy, but we will do it together.
