Hello, I’m Maria Fernanda Perez, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in a helping capacity for over 19 years. I specialize in working with violence and trauma survivors, teens, adults who have experienced challenges in their lives. I support couples and families who desire to develop a deeper connection to their body.

My traditional mental health background has given me a solid foundation in helping others to better finding their inner self.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I graduated from San Francisco State University with an M.S. in Counseling Psychology. I have recently been certified by the Cognitive Behavioral Institute to offer ERPT (Exposure Response Prevention Therapy for OCD). I have over 20 years of experience working with a very diverse range of folks (women, men, the LGBTQ community, those living with HIV,People of Color, those dealing with substance issues). I enjoy working with people who are seeking a caring, compassionate, understanding person who listens and offers a hand up while they battle back against depression and anxiety. I also enjoy supporting people who are struggling with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and employ a powerful tool (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy) that is clinically shown to greatly reduce OCD symptoms.

I want to help you solve the problems in your life. To do that, we need to determine what those problems are and we need to establish a rapport where trust, positive regard and hope are foundational.

Hello there, I’m Chris. Do you feel like you mind is constantly racing in different directions? Are you struggling to set boundaries with family and friends? Is it hard to keep up with personal relationships (work and health)? Do you have a hard time scheduling time for self-care? Is it hard to have self-compassion and kindness for yourself for past mistakes? I help adults/older teens manage their stress, anxiety, and depression to avoid burnout. Together we will collaborate and identify ways to help you to have a work-life balance.

I specialize in a variety of mindfulness-based interventions that will help support you in rediscovering creative ways to regulate their thoughts, emotions, and actions to live happier lives. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming feelings, toxic relationships, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to support you. Seeking therapy can be scary but you are making the right choice in taking care of your mental health. You deserve a safe place to share thoughts and feelings without judgement. In our sessions I will meet you where you are with compassion and evidenced based interventions so you can overcome the negative thoughts that are holding you back from living your authentic life. Let’s work together as a team.

Your life is changing, and you’re not sure why you’re not handling it better. In my work with clients, I’ve seen that even good changes can make usually well-adjusted people struggle with day-to-day stress that didn’t seem to be a challenge in the past. I’ve worked with people who struggle with communicating emotions, prioritizing themselves, or feeling like their best is not good enough. If you feel like you can identify with those experiences and are not sure how to change things, I’d love to work with you.
