About Adenia Perez

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina and Arizona with eleven years of experience supporting people who are navigating change. She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and significant life transitions, helping them find practical strategies and emotional support to move forward. Perez pursued her interest in social work by earning a BA in social work from Lehman College in 2010 and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Hunter College in 2012, and her clinical practice reflects that formal training.

Over more than a decade, she has provided services in a range of settings including nonprofits, schools, and community programs, working with both adults and children. Her work has included assisting people who struggle with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood instability, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, identity development, and LGBT-related concerns, as well as addressing challenging irrational beliefs.

Perez has completed specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavior modification, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) principles, narrative therapy, strength-based approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she combines clinical knowledge from her Master of Social Work with hands-on experience to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

In her therapeutic work she aims to make the experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert of their own story and that their existing strengths can be used to reach goals and overcome obstacles. Perez recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and she welcomes the opportunity to meet clients, clarify goals, and collaborate on practical plans to achieve meaningful progress.
