I am Shanell Cooper, LGSW, a therapist with Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Services, LLC, and I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. I offer a supportive, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe exploring your experiences, emotions, and identity without judgment. I understand that young adulthood can be a time filled with uncertainty, pressure, and change—especially when past or ongoing trauma is part of your story.
Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Service LL
My approach is holistic, compassionate, and evidence-based, and I focus on helping you build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and develop deeper self-understanding. Together, we will work to process difficult experiences, reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm, and reconnect with your strengths.
I strive to create a warm, trusting space where you can show up as your authentic self. I believe healing looks different for everyone, and I approach each client with curiosity, empathy, and respect. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you while building balance, confidence, clarity, and tools for long-term emotional well-being.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
