There is no way I could say enough about Emily. She is one of the most caring, loving, dedicated, passionate, and masterful people in the talk therapy realm. She held my hand through some of the toughest moments of my life and helped me process some really difficult things to grapple with. I never felt overlooked. I always felt heard. It can be extremely difficult to open up and let someone enter your mind. I always felt as though I had the space to say whatever I needed to say, and it would be received with compassion and understanding. She has a great sense of humor. She has a delicate touch but will hold you accountable. The thing I think I liked most in working with Emily is her passion for what she does. I don't know if she just really likes helping people, or is some kind of angel sent from the clouds to bring peace on Earth, but I highly recommend Emily Perez as a person to talk to if you get the chance. Honestly Emily, thank you so much for being there for me when I was alone and couldn't be there for myself! I will always have love and gratitude for you! I'm a taller, more confident, and overall happier individual after meeting you. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!

One of my favorite quotes, by Robert Frost, is: "The best way out is through." It is a brave action to enter counseling; I am so glad you are considering this! Walking through a difficult time, topic, or concern can feel overwhelming. My role is to help you feel supported, empowered, and heard along the way. I believe you have what you need within you to create what you hope for, and am here to help you find what you are searching for.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, (LCSW). I gained my Masters of Social Work from the University of Texas at San Antonio. My approach to counseling is strength-focused, warm, and interactive. I utilize an assortment of reliable interventions, including but not limited to, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. My professional background is diverse in working with populations such as adolescents, military families, LGBTQ, and parents, from diverse cultural backgrounds. I practice with intent to help clients gain direction and clarity that I feel each client has the ability to access. I operate within the understanding that each individual is worthy of having a place where they feel safe and important, while visiting struggles and internal questions.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great advice & keeps an ongoing conversation she always points me the right way , never judges me & is such great support
Shes so encouraging and approachable. Ive never had a therapist be so welcoming and easy to talk to.
I've only had one meeting with Emily so far, but she's already helped me reframe my thinking into more realistic views. I'm going through a really tough time right now and I am hopeful that she's going to help me recover myself. I really liked her a lot and am looking forward to our next session!
Emily is very kind, caring and supportive. She has offered me insights that change my view on myself and improve my life.
Emily is an avid listener and provides me with clear and helpful insight/advice. I don't get any feelings of judgement from her, and I get the sense that she truly does care about trying to help. I have appreciated her kindness as well as her devotion to what she does. I would recommend Emily to any friend or family member who is considering therapy.
Emily’s responses to my concerns and struggles are so empowering! She finds things that I am already doing well and praises me for them and encourages me to continue. She is so good at validating my concerns, I feel heard every time we communicate.
Emily is wonderful. She listens and then gives steps to help with that situations discussed.
