Hi! Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina and Arizona with eleven years of experience working with people making change in their life. I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and life changing situations. I followed my passion to assist people in thriving by obtaining a BA in social work at Lehman College in 2010 and a MSW in 2012 from Hunter College. I have worked in several clinical settings including nonprofits, schools, and community settings. I have experience working with individuals (adults and children) struggling with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, depression, OCD, LGBT, mood instability, challenging irrational beliefs, anxiety, history of trauma, PTSD and identity development. I have received specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Behavior modification, DBT principal, narrative therapy, strength base therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focus.
When working with clients I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in doing great things and overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals and make plans to achieve them!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Adenia is an excellent therapist. Her approach includes a deep dive on the client which helps her and the client understand everything better. She’s an encouraging individual with a calming presence and lots of wisdom. Adenia also speaks Spanish and is culturally competent. Overall, I’m beyond satisfied with her work and cannot thank her enough for her help with my anxiety.

Adenia is great at her job and takes time to listen and learn from me. She strives to understand my background and culture and accounts for that in our sessions. She's very approachable and knowledgeable.
Adenia has built a strong rapport and trust with me that is very much appreciated. She is able to ask tough questions and provide a non bias opinion which I value greatly.
Adenia is my first therapist. Best experience. During our sessions I felt safe and comfortable expressing my struggles, We had the best laughters too, ending them with positive notes and recommandations to uplift the mind. Adenia is a safe space if you’re trying therapy for the first time, you’ll be in good hands

Doctora no puedo seguir por ahora en mis terapias,no logré tener el dinero para este fin hoy empiezo a conseguir trabajo disculpeme tratare de volver después en un mejor situación financiera...gracias
Adenia has been a major blessing in my life. I am starting to experience change in behavioral and physiological patterns. I am very happy and grateful for this development. Changing your life for the best takes intentional effort after you have made the decision. Adenia does not have a magic wand however she helps me to declutter my mind so that I can see and do things with more clarity. It’s like having a 15 miles race to run with 25 monkeys on your back. She is the person that comes in and help you get the monkeys off your back so that you can run light. She is awesome!
My therapist, Adenia Perez, has helped me so much. Early on and throughout our sessions, it became clear that the theme of one’s problems centers in the mind and in one’s perception of reality. This is the main lesson I learned from Adenia. One has to incorporate daily habits of filling their mind with positive thoughts. Small daily progress leads to big change in the long term. Therefore, through building the habit of forcing my mind to think more positive thoughts than negative thoughts, I’ve been able to be more positive and at peace. Furthermore when developing positive thoughts, I’ve been able to change my perception of reality into a more loving reality. Another area that we worked on extensively is being compassionate towards people who I perceive as treating me poorly. I’ve made a lot of assumptions as to why people have treated me poorly in the past. Adenia pointed out that these people are dealing with their own life challenges which may cause them to treat others poorly. She mentioned that it’s my job to treat them with compassion and to not take their treatment of me personally. This is an area that I’ve struggled with immensely when it comes to being treated poorly. I take things too personal. Adenia has helped me to perceive that it’s not personal and that I should stay focused on my goals and on continuing developing a positive mindset. Thank you so much, Adenia! I greatly appreciate your help. Anyone who’s in need of help with their mental health may depend on Adenia to provide solutions and better help!
