Hello! My Name is Makira. I am a therapist with Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Services. We are a multicultural and multi-lingual practice offering therapeutic services to children, teenager, and adults. Our clinicians are trained to utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to support and empower a diverse population. At Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Services, our mission is to deliver exceptional, patient-centered care to individuals of all ages who are facing mental health challenges or experiencing stress. We approach our work with understanding, respect, and genuine care, aiming to provide the best possible support.
As a person-centered therapist with 7 years of experience, I have been utilizing techniques from play therapy, CBT, DBT, and solution-focus therapy to assist my patients with developing coping skills to deal with life’s variety of experiences and challenges. I value and take pride in creating an environment where my patients feel safe and can be themselves.
Starting therapy can bring a wide range of feelings and with patience, empathy, and compassion, I believe therapy can offer you the opportunity to promote your personal growth and empowerment.
