Brenda Perea, LCSW
About me
I am a licensed psychotherapist with 30 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide array of concerns to include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting problems, and challenges with career. I have also helped individuals who have experienced trauma.
My therapy style is warm and caring. I believe in treating others with respect and compassion in a non judgmental environment. I enjoy empowering others and believe in teaching skills to help cope with life's ups and downs.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and for taking the steps toward feeling better, and a more satisfying life. I will provide a safe, nurturing, confidential space, so that we may begin working toward the goals you would like to achieve for yourself.
I look forward to meeting you!

I like meeting with Brenda. She is very kind and a great listener. She allows me to get all of my pent up emotions and thoughts out, without the feeling of being judged. She offers great support and a more positive perspective that I can use for my daily life.

Brenda is amazing. I always feel better after each and every session. Her advise is always very helpful and she has helped me in many ways. I am very grateful that I found her when I did.

Brenda is a wonderful listener. She validates my thoughts and feeling and helps to work through them. Her "homework" has been helping a lot and I actually look forward to our next sessions.

Brenda is a comfortable person to talk about my issue with. She took the time to understand why it was bothering me and would ask questions that dug deeper into the issue. Talking about it with her made me realize certain things I was doing that was giving me major anxiety. Now, that I see what I've been doing to generate my anxiety, I'm like why was I ever doing that to myself? But yeah, she is a good person to talk with because she points out certain things that I didn't notice for myself.
