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!
