My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often use cognitive behavioral therapy in my practice. During the first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With CBT , we will also look at how your thoughts affect your experiences and emotions. During treatment we will explore how to move forward past those thoughts to change your feelings and improve your overall well being.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize solution focus brief treatment to focus on current events and desires for the future. It's used from the client's perspective as the expert who creates their reality and what they want.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize motivational interviewing as a counseling method that helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find internal motivation to change an undesired behavior.

I chose this provider due to years of experience and able to help me with PTSD as well as relationship issue I am confidence I made the right choice. Peresia approach in every session is honest but warm and compassion in doing so. She is authentic not telling me what I want to hear but letting me know what I need to hear and know. She has empowered me to becoming a better version of myself.
