Victor Perez, MA, LPC, NCC
Sharia:
I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in New Jersey as well as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in New York State. I obtained both my BSW and MSW (Master of Social Work) degrees from Syracuse University. I'm a New Jersey resident but was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. I have approximately 10 years of experience in education, foster care, and adoption, as well as experience working with at-risk youth. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who may be experiencing symptoms associated with ADHD, anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant behaviors, and family systems stressors. I also specialize in crisis intervention, parenting, and relationship issues. I am trained in CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused/Brief Therapy, and ABA therapy. I have a strong belief in meeting my clients “where they are at” and working together to find solutions to the issues which bring them into therapy in the first place. I utilize a strength-based approach, as well as mindfulness and meditation to guide individuals and families towards a healthier mind and better functioning overall in life. I believe that therapy is a partnership between client and therapist and that together they will work towards positive and effective solutions.
