Schema Therapy in Palmyra, PA

I believe that therapy offers a unique and safe place to heal and grow. Walking through my clients' difficulties with them creates a space to promote healing and growth. I enjoy the challenge of supporting clients as they gain a sense of empowerment. I work with people from all faith backgrounds, and while I do not consider myself to be solely a "christian counselor", my faith is a large part of my life and I invite clients to lead the role that faith plays in our work together. I work with individuals as well as couples. My work has included supporting people who experience anxiety, depression, poor relationships and life changes.

When life's challenges feel overwhelming, burdensome, confusing, uncertain, hopeless, or difficult to imagine changed, it can make all the difference to find the right support to guide you or your loved one to a renewed sense of strength.

Therapy offers the space to process emotions and experiences, develop a relationship with yourself, and gain insight. It is my goal to create a space for you to explore these areas, and to develop a therapeutic alliance that instills hope and encourages confidence. With a background in recreation therapy, I utilize a psychodynamic approach rooted in attachment theory, and primarily use schema therapy and behavioral interventions.

I specialize in Trauma treatment for adults, children, adolescents, couples and families. Trauma affects all areas of one's life in pervasive and sometimes unexpected ways. I enjoy helping people identify how past events continue to play a part in current patterns, and to work on new and healthy ways of responding to stressors. Other specializations include treating victims of childhood sexual abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, children, adolescents, and couples, and working with families to better understand and support their LGBTQIA+ loved ones.

My goal is for each person I work with to feel seen and accepted as they are, and over time to be able to view themselves through a compassionate lens that acknowledges both strengths and challenges. I approach therapy as both a learning and a healing experience. I work to help people identify and understand their values, beliefs, and behavioral and relational patterns, so that they can assess whether these continue to be a good fit for them.

I ventured into the counseling field because I found a knack and passion for working with folks walking through difficult times. From there, I felt this passion flourish into a calling. I work as both a professor and clinician, teaching the fundamentals of counseling to my students while practicing what I preach in the clinical setting. My clients describe me as caring, empathetic, insightful, intelligent, and funny (counseling without a well-placed sense of humor is a rather drab experience for the client and the clinician!). I am now excited to offer my services through Perez Therapy, LLC.!

Will I ever be good enough?....Maybe I AM the crazy one?... Have you had these thoughts? Are you anxious, depressed, a chronic people pleaser? Have your "loved ones" blamed you for "everything that is wrong"? Do you hate the way they act around you, but then a few memories of when they were nice make you feel guilty for having those thoughts (cognitive dissonance)? This is all normal if you have experienced narcissistic abuse or emotionally immature parents. This is where I come in. Healing is a real possibility. You deserve it and I'm dedicated to helping you move from surviving to thriving!

One of my strengths is that I know how hard it can be to get started in therapy, so I always try to be sensitive and reassuring to my clients as we get to know each other. I am capable of reaching many different types of clients, but I most enjoy helping people who have been struggling for a long time and who cannot see a way out of their situation.
