Monica Perez

Monica Perez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California (CA LPCC 16389) with 5 years of professional experience. She supports people working through stress and anxiety, family conflicts, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, burnout prevention, and depression.

She approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can help overcome life’s challenges. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life requires courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process.

Monica has practiced in a variety of mental health settings, including private practice, non-profit organizations, and crisis units. Her clinical work has included at-risk youth and children, as well as adults and couples in community and private practice settings.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a minor in Spanish from California State University, San Marcos and a Master of Science in Professional Clinical Counseling from California State University, San Bernardino. During her master’s program she focused on researching mental health practices as they pertain to the Latinx community.

Inspired by her own experiences in therapy, Monica is committed to dispelling stigma and negative perceptions of mental health within culturally diverse communities, particularly the Latinx community. She strives to provide care that fosters understanding and empowers clients to move forward.
