About Dr. Andrew Perez

Dr. Andrew Perez has practiced as a therapist since 2011, building deep experience across higher education and correctional settings. He has spent much of his career working with college students ranging from 17-year-olds to older, nontraditional students in their 40s and 50s, and has provided mental health services within the Texas prison system. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminal Justice in 2007 and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology in 2011, he completed a Doctor of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Counseling in 2018.

He began clinical work as a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern in 2011 and earned full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - in 2013.

Since 2013 he has worked in a university counseling center where his responsibilities include providing direct care to students and supervising interns and staff, and he also offers supervision to clinicians outside the university. He teaches on a part-time basis as needed and has provided private online counseling for a little over one year to people from a variety of backgrounds.

Dr. Perez uses a range of therapeutic methods, most often Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - an approach that explores connections among thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. He also incorporates solution-focused techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches when appropriate, and he draws on formal DBT training for clients who can benefit from those skills. Treatment choices are guided by what he and each client determine best meets their needs.
