Hi There, Perrin here, If you are reading this short bio, I want to first congratulate you on the first step towards self discovery. I was born in The Bronx, NY which has inducted me naturally into a world that did not always make sense. I am mixed with African American and Native American heritage so this has allowed me to be both culturally sensitive as well as unbiased towards the human experience. I have a great appreciation for humanity which has led me to this field and assisting individuals in recognizing their innate abilities to push through tough challenges is my most treasured goal. My practice embodies the three core processes I have concluded to be effective during my 13 years of experience. These processes are; explore, grow, and maintain and through these processes, individuals will understand and explore where they have come from, growing through their experiences, and using the skills along the way in maintaining effective change.

I draw from various therapeutic approaches depending on the clients' needs, stage of therapy, and mental health issue. For example, for Bipolar disorder, I combine interpersonal, supportive and CBT modalities in a collaborative and empathic setting. Most importantly, I believe that compassion, openness and acceptance, build a strong therapeutic alliance, key to maximizing a client’s successful outcome.

Since 2011, I have pursued the field of Psychology and Mental Health with great passion. Throughout this time, I have had the privilege and honor of working with diverse populations with an approach that focuses on the individual. I continue to gain insight, knowledge and skills within the field of Mental Health and recognize the importance of continuing education. I am, and have always been drawn to understanding the human condition and behaviors that may contribute to an individual’s personal struggle. I believe that the therapeutic process is highly beneficial and effective in providing healing, self-insight, wisdom, understanding, acceptance, knowledge and so much more. I have found that utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches allows for individuality within treatment and the therapeutic relationship. I typically utilize concepts related to Depth Psychology, Mindfulness Practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential therapy. It is my understanding that all behavior is purposeful and allows an individual to obtain personal needs and desires. However, at times, these behaviors may be maladaptive and cause an individual distress. Through the therapeutic process we will explore these patterns and discover ways in which an individual can live a rewarding and meaningful life.

I hold a Master of Science degree in Neurosciences and a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as Certifications in Trauma Treatment and advanced trainings in EMDR Therapy, IFS therapy, Contextual Therapy, among others . Understanding the human experience with trauma, pain and loss and witnessing how through therapy healing is possible, has been the seal of a lifelong legacy. As a psychotherapist I practice a holistic and integrative approach and work mainly from a psychodynamic, trauma informed and neuroscientific and systemic perspective, based on the evidence of how trauma impacts the body and brain, and the awareness that in order to create lasting change and heal trauma wounds we must create insight and integrate past and present while establishing a secure connection with ourselves and in relationship with our significant others. It is now my honor to be your therapist. As your therapist it is my goal to guide you through your journey of internal growth and lasting healing.

I specialize in Domestic Violence, Trauma and PTSD, Relationship difficulties, Anxiety and Depression. I am a Christian Therapist delivering Evidence-Based Psychotherapy backed by Neuroscience with an ultimate healing approach. I am a perfect match for clients who wish to have such a blend. My passion is fueled by my Faith in Jesus Christ and the incredible desire to help others break through what has been holding them back. In life, I have dealt with my own childhood traumas, toxic adult relationships, and uncomfortable experiences in life. My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, saved me through the Holy Spirit, and God has delivered me to a place of healing. I am an overcomer & a warrior. As a warrior, I have dedicated my career to caring for those with broken hearts and spirits. Guiding individuals to reclaim healing & wholeness which is their birth right. I enjoy helping individuals obtain their freedom from oppression, depression, confusion, despair, fear, trauma, and the lack of not foresight on how to live life. My goal is to equip the unequipped with the tools to function abundantly. I plan to help you get out of the cycle life has you in, help you strengthen your internal compass, reflect & identify areas of entrapment, while setting appropriate boundaries so that you gain power & control over your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is skilled in numerous modalities that includes both EMDR and sensorimotor therapies. My specialties go to the root of the problem and finds the silver thread or in therapeutic terms the neurobiological network that connects the negative beliefs inherent in all the trauma the patient experienced. In addition to my trauma training I earned my RPT (registered play therapist) and I have extensive knowledge of child development and counseling children and adolescents. I am willing to counsel adolescents online but children younger than 12 must be seen in person.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Bipolar Disorder?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Bipolar Disorder, is filtering therapists in New York that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
