About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Georgia. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and life-changing medical diagnoses. My compassionate and encouraging approach to therapy is founded on the belief that therapy should offer a safe space for introspection and self-discovery. Therapy is a collaborative effort that requires openness without judgment. It is a tool to empower oneself to realize the true power one already holds within. As a therapist, I have a down-to-earth, encouraging and direct style. I combine my education and experience to help my clients navigate their unique challenges and achieve their goals. Let's embark on this therapy journey together to overcome those internal battles holding you back!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, I will introduce myself to my clients. I will make certain to discuss standard procedures for scheduling appointments, confidentiality, and communicating between sessions. I will ask my clients lots of questions to learn a bit about their history as well as discover their goals for treatment.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My therapeutic approach draws on the fundamentals of CBT, DBT, IPI, MI and solution-focused therapy. I believe that treatment methodologies are not one size fits all, however, my warmth and empathy are shared with everyone.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have experience treating individuals ages 18 and older. I treat clients battling depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and life-changing medical diagnoses. I have also helped individuals facing issues related to racial, ethnic and gender discrimination.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Clients battling depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and life-changing medical diagnoses. Also, individuals facing issues related to racial, ethnic and gender discrimination.

Our introductory encounter was phenomenal. Allena was very intentional in her effort to really see and hear me, the human, beyond the positional narrative and its interpretation. Rather than seeking information to identify a classification or label, she worked to open a dialogue for insight into who I am and the realities of my experiences. I look forward to continuing this journey of personal emancipatory discovery.

I love Dr Perez. She always lets me talk & complete my thoughts. She's always very attentive, open minded, & challenging. That helps me to push myself to make the necessary changes I need in my life. Couldn't ask for a better therapist to get me through my trials & tribulations.

I had my first session with Alleña and felt very comfortable with her. She's easy to talk to and has a calming and welcoming presence. I felt heard and understood and am looking forward to continuing therapy with her.
