I work with clients on a wide range of things such as; victims/survivors of abuse, child welfare and custody issues including abuse and neglect, trauma victims/survivors, domestic violence, coping and managing mental health issues, anxiety, and depression, couples looking to regain their connection or intimacy issues, coping with divorce, and families looking to create a cohesive living environment.

Whether you are navigating unhealthy attachments, having relationship and marital concerns, or overwhelmed with anxiety and fear there is hope for you to overcome! My therapeutic approach remains the same whether there is one or more persons in my office, I believe the quality of our relationships is mostly determined by the quality of our individual lives, and I endeavor to help my clients understand how their thoughts, misalignment of values, and unresolved rejection and abandonment concerns impact every area of their lives.

Are you ready to work through a past traumatic event? Perhaps you need to process through a loss or a new life transition? There are so many reasons people seek out therapy. Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask any questions you may have. My approach to therapy is to create a space where you feel free from judgment and can work alongside your therapist to reach the goals you set. Common goals include anxiety reduction, healthy boundaries, self-love, and emotional regulation, to name a few.

I work with issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, social isolation, social skills, relationship issues, identity, and life transitions.

Being a child or teen in today’s world is tough, and so is parenting! Although the world is changing fast, the needs of children and teens remain the same as previous generations. Children and teens need to feel love, security, and value. When children, teens, and young adults are having difficulty managing emotions, regulating behavior, and lacking a strong sense of self, it is often necessary to seek support. Parenting support and training is an integral part of my practice. I have been providing individual and family therapy to school-age children to young adults in Raleigh since 2001.

Choosing the right therapist is a very personal and important decision. It is crucial that client and therapist have the means to form a strong and trusting therapeutic alliance in order to do deep and meaningful work together, I strive to achieve that with every client I work with. My specialty lies in working through unresolved trauma. Using skills + a strong intuition, I will help guide you through your healing process as you come to terms with events and lay them to rest. I draw from Acceptance Commitment Therapy and am non pathologizing.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, & EMDR trained therapist. I specialize in treatment of complex trauma & pregnancy loss. These credentials qualify me to be a therapist but what do they mean? Some say the letters after someone’s name have become like alphabet soup. No one knows what they mean & no one really cares. So here’s a little about my counseling philosophy. My primary framework is attachment focused. I believe humans are designed to enjoy connection with others. From before birth our bodies & brains are already making connections to significant people in our lives.

Hi, I'm Dr. Pérez McGowan, a Licensed Psychologist with 15 years of experience working with teens and adults. My clients have spent long enough feeling stressed, tired, and overwhelmed. They know what it’s like to have unhelpful thoughts run on a loop with no end in sight. This can lead to trouble sleeping, problems connecting with loved ones, and difficulties following through with daily demands. Our work together can help you learn how to quiet excessive worries and fears, and bring hope and joy back into your life.

**Accepting New Clients** Life can be overwhelming, confusing, disappointing, and painful. Life can be very fast-paced, and it can be very difficult in knowing how to keep up. If you’re feeling depressed, or having difficulty with friendships/relationships/family/job, therapy can help. Are the experiences earlier in your life (childhood and/or early adulthood) impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve your daily decision-making.

One of the bravest things you can do is to own your story but not be defined by it. If you're ready to start writing an exciting next chapter in your life, contact me today to learn how to keep the past from getting in your way. I'm a doctoral level clinical psychologist offering therapy to adult clients with a wide range of mood, behavioral, and relationship issues at Breyta Psychological Services. I can help change the way you relate to problems in your life, build psychological flexibility, and foster a deep sense of self-compassion. While we can't change the past, together we can change your future.

I believe the therapeutic process starts with a safe space that allows you to come as you are, all parts welcome. I am devoted to working with children and families to support the development of a positive and healthy relationship and attachment between children and families, as well as a safe environment conducive to growth and nourishment. I also recognize the need to embrace and love your “inner-child” and work with parents who may have difficulty processing their own childhood experiences.

Your symptoms serve you, but they come at a price. Psychotherapy can help render them obsolete. In treatment, your problems will be addressed through a process of speaking and reflection. Together, we will explore your ideas, work through your emotions, and examine your relationships with others. As you put words to your thoughts, the energy you spend on your worries will become yours to do with as you please. My goal is to help you gain deeper enjoyment out of your day-to-day living. If you are not getting what you want out of life, therapy can help you begin to change.

After ignoring your snooze button twenty times, you've finally mustered up enough strength to climb out of bed. Another day. It feels like an uphill battle. Every. Single. Day. You are exhausted all the time-no matter what.

On paper, your life is great....so no one gets it. Do you just want to quiet the noise, go to sleep, or binge your favorite series? Every day? All the time?
