Jennifer Perez

Clinician

I provide mental health care for children (4-17) and adults (18+), specializing in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ASD, ADHD, impulse control, and executive functioning challenges. I also provide a focus on women’s mental health, supporting hormonal transitions like PMDD, perimenopause, postmenopause, and postpartum, along with related or unrelated mood disorders. Additionally, I integrate nutrition and healthy sleep routines to support overall mental and emotional well-being.

Jen has worked as a licensed professional counselor in NJ for ​the past ten years and as a school counselor in NJ for over ​fifteen years. As a licensed professional counselor in the ​clinical setting, she has worked with a diverse group of ​children, adults and couples presenting with a wide range of ​concerns, including, anxiety, depression, anger and stress ​management as well as conflict within social, family and ​romantic relationships. She draws from a number of ​counseling techniques, but she is particularly adept at using ​cognitive behavioral techniques to help her clients attain ​their treatment goals. Her work in the schools has given her ​the unique understanding of the day to day issues that ​students of various ages face and the support networks that ​are in place to help them. She also completed a certification ​in holistic health counseling. She believes in the connection ​between mind and body and enjoys integrating this approach ​into her sessions with clients. She recently moved back to CT ​with her family and looks forward to continuing her work ​here at SpireTHERAPY!
