Meet Dr. Karen Perez

With over 15 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working in diverse settings—from community colleges to forensic courts—supporting people through life's most difficult moments. I'm committed to offering compassionate, culturally-sensitive therapy tailored to the individual.

At CCMS-CWC, my mission is to provide comprehensive psychological services, from psychotherapy and assessments to expert medico-legal reports. I've also served as an educator, seminar speaker, and disability analyst—bringing multidimensional insights to my work with clients.

I believe in practical, results-oriented therapy grounded in evidence-based techniques and deep listening. Whether it's helping a veteran manage trauma, a family through transition, or a teen navigate online pressures, I provide a warm, supportive space for growth. 🔗(View Complete CV)

    Dr. Perez came into my life during a very rough time. I can truly say that I do not know how I would have made it through without her. I had planned to stop therapy as I had in the past after getting through the initial very rough time was "fixed". But now I feel like I should continue to move past just working through an issue when it becomes debilitating. She has helped me realize that is a better way.

    I came to counseling because I was going through a turning point in my relationship and life and was having a hard time reconciling how I felt about everything. Dr. Perez helped me focus on myself and gave me that person to talk to when I didn't have anyone else to tell about what I was feeling. It was nice because I didn't feel like a burden by always talking about my problems to someone; I felt more comfortable to talk with her.
