Welcome to Jess Perez Therapy—I’m so glad you’re here!
I'm Jess Perez, a Latina, LGBTQ+ affirmative and identified, licensed marriage and family therapist based in Los Angeles, California. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy from Antioch University in 2018.
I would be honored to join you on your journey toward positive mental health and self-discovery. Life can often feel overwhelming, messy, and exhausting, but I am here to help guide you through any challenges you may face. My practice primarily focuses on working with the LGBTQ+ community, marginalized individuals, teens dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and various life transitions. I also support couples and partners in navigating relationship challenges, fostering connection, and building understanding.
As we develop a strong therapeutic relationship, we will work collaboratively to achieve your goals using an approach that includes:
Purposeful and compassionate self-care practices
Empowering talk therapy
Applied mindfulness techniques
Active listening for deeper engagement and connection
Continuous supportive conversation
A sense of humor (when appropriate)
A safe, judgment-free environment
A supportive space that celebrates you and your evolving identity
