Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a supportive and engaging space for children and teens to grow, build skills, and feel more confident in their daily lives. Sessions are not “one size fits all.” Instead, Dr. Perez tailors each appointment to the child’s developmental stage, personality, and interests, making therapy both effective and enjoyable.
Therapy with Dr. Perez blends evidence-based methods with creative, hands-on strategies.
Depending on the client, sessions may include:
Play & Creativity
Play, art, and storytelling give kids a natural way to express themselves while also practicing real-world skills like communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.
Virtual Tools
Digital activities, visuals, and interactive telehealth strategies keep sessions engaging online while making it easier to connect skills to school, social life, and home routines.
Skill-Building
Games and hands-on activities turn coping strategies into everyday tools—helping kids and teens build flexibility, attention, and confidence in ways that feel fun.
Mindfulness
Approachable practices like breathing, grounding, and relaxation help kids and teens notice their feelings, calm their bodies, and regain a sense of control in tough moments.
Real-World Practice
We bring therapy into daily life—planning school routines, preparing for social events, or even trying new foods—so progress made in session carries over into the real world.
Stress Management
Evidence-based strategies help kids and teens handle academic stress, big emotions, and everyday worries with greater resilience, self-awareness, and calm.
Teen Support
A safe, judgment-free space for teens to talk about friendships, identity, independence, and the pressures they face—building skills that make this stage of life feel more manageable.
Confidence & Growth
Every step is centered on celebrating strengths, building resilience, and helping kids and teens see themselves as capable, valued, and understood.
