Julissa M. Almonte (Pérez)
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MT-BC
I am currently only seeing clients via Telehealth from both NY and CT. Please note when returning calls, my number will show as Private.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Board Certified Music Therapist, and a Yoga Teacher. I use multiple creative modalities to provide a positive experience for my clients including mindfulness, yoga, somatic techniques, movement, breath work and writing, to name a few. I provide non-judgmental care for Sexual and Gender Expansive Folx who don't fit into society's boxes with a trauma informed and racial equity lens. I have worked with trans youth and and can provide letters for gender confirmation procedures according to WPATH standards of care. I am a featured therapist on the QTPOC Mental Health Practitioner Directory.
I work with LGBTQ/NB/kinky/polyamorous communities. I have a lot of experience with trauma but I don't assume that your identity stems from trauma, or your problems stem from your identity. You are a person, not a problem. I also help people to feel safe in their bodies using sound, meditation, somatic exercises and vocal techniques.
I recognize that we aren't always responsible for our circumstances, but believe that we are responsible for our choices and their outcomes. I work with you to draw your own conclusions from a place of empowerment, shedding your old stories. Together we discover what brings you joy and ways to bring more of it into your life.
