(he/him)
I'm Emilio Perdomo, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach as a therapist, is to be collaborative with my client which means we work together to work through past or present challenges. I have worked with clients ages 12-60 years old. By providing you with a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns and providing education, guidance and commitment to the process, I want to help you move toward achieving your personal therapeutic goals. Most of my clients tend to have anxiety, ADHD or depression. I have experience working with clients who are BICOP or LGBTQIA+.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the challenges you're facing and how it's affecting your day to day. I will ask you a variety of questions to understand your history and get to know you. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I have experience working with the following conditions: Adjustment Issues Anxiety and related disorders, Depression, Gender Identity and Dysphoria, Grief and Loss, and Trauma. I tend to create a warm environment when working with clients and am flexible in my approach. I ask that clients be honest with me and communicate positives and concerns in order to work together to make adjustments.
I love working with teens, young adults and adults. I have experience working POC and LGBTQ population. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, depressed or anxious about their struggles or past trauma.
