Janeth Perez
Feeling overextended, exhausted, and constantly putting everyone else first? You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I help women break free from anxiety, overthinking, and guilt so they can rebuild their self-esteem and set healthy boundaries without feeling bad about it.
With over eight years of experience supporting clients, I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard.
How I Can Help You: • Break Unhealthy Cycles: Identify overthinking and stress patterns that drain your energy. • Build Practical Boundaries: Learn to say "no" and prioritize yourself without guilt. • Cultural Understanding: As a bilingual Latina therapist, I deeply understand the unique family dynamics, cultural expectations, and caregiving pressures women navigate. Together, we’ll move beyond just surviving the day to building real, lasting emotional confidence and balance.
First session
• Comfort & Connection (10–15 mins): Introduce ourselves, set a low-pressure space, and discuss your current challenges at your own pace. • Pattern Identification (20–25 mins): Unpack recurring triggers, stress patterns, and boundary struggles. • Actionable Game Plan (10 mins): Outline clear, achievable goals and practical coping strategies to try before session two.
Strengths
True therapy isn't just sitting in a room talking about your feelings—it's about getting real tools that change your day-to-day life. I balance compassionate, nonjudgmental listening with actionable guidance so you leave every session feeling both validated and equipped. • Cultural Insight: As a bilingual Latina therapist, I deeply understand the unspoken family dynamics, guilt, and cultural expectations that uniquely weigh on women of color. • Empathetic Accountability: I create a safe space to unpack heavy emotions, while gently coaching you to set firmer boundaries and step out of people-pleasing. • Practical Skill-Building: We move beyond surface conversation to build concrete coping strategies you can use immediately when anxiety or overwhelm hits.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve women who feel emotionally overextended, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that drain their self-esteem and strain their relationships. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who manage life masterfully on the outside, but battle internal anxiety, self-doubt, and deep emotional exhaustion. I work exceptionally well with women who: • Struggle to set clear boundaries or say no without guilt. • Consistently prioritize everyone else's needs above their own. • Face heavy cultural expectations, family dynamics, or major life transitions. • Feel immense pressure to "hold it all together" while feeling disconnected from themselves. My style is uniquely designed for individuals who want both deep emotional validation and practical, actionable tools. Together, we'll build healthier coping strategies, heal relationship patterns, and strengthen your self-worth so you can feel grounded, confident, and balanced.
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
For over eight years, I have utilized Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients tap into their existing strengths and resources. Instead of getting stuck analyzing the past, we focus on practical, forward-looking solutions. This approach is highly effective for creating positive, meaningful change in a relatively short period of time
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into my practice for eight years to help clients manage anxiety and stress. Together, we will look at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. By recognizing and gently challenging recurring negative thought patterns, you can break free from overthinking and feel more grounded.
Narrative
With over eight years of experience in Narrative Therapy, I view you as the ultimate expert on your own life. This respectful, non-blaming approach explores the stories you tell about yourself and how they shape your identity. Together, we work to re-author those stories, separating who you are from the problems you are facing.
Eclectic
I bring more than eight years of experience utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach. Rather than forcing you into a single, rigid framework, I thoughtfully blend tools and theories from various schools of psychotherapy. This allows me to customize a flexible, highly personalized treatment plan tailored entirely to your distinct personality and goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
For the past eight years, I have practiced Person-Centered therapy, which is built on the belief that you have an inherent capacity for growth and self-healing. My role is to provide a safe space filled with empathy and unconditional positive regard. Instead of giving rigid advice, I walk alongside you as a supportive facilitator of your personal growth.
