Andrew Perez, LCMHC

Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of experience working across settings that serve children, teens, and adults. He balances a professional focus on mental health with personal interests in running, hiking, reading, and writing, and values family and travel as important parts of life.

His background includes work in a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital serving children and adults, and a community-based program supporting at-risk children, teens, and their families. These roles shaped a clinical perspective that places identity, family dynamics, and social connectedness at the center of wellbeing. He emphasizes how biological, spiritual, and relational factors shape a person’s sense of self and overall mental health.

Andrew draws on Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as foundations for helping people change unhelpful thought patterns and reach their potential. His practice is informed by a wide range of modalities including Adlerian individual counseling, Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Collaborative Problem-Solving, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential Therapy. He also incorporates measurement-based care and insights from neuroscience. In sessions he works collaboratively to identify strengths, interests, and daily routines that build skills and support lasting change.
