Serena Perry

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) with a Masters degree in Marriage and  Family Therapy. I graduated from Antioch University, where I also earned a certificate in Sex Therapy. To  me, therapy is an incredible tool for healing, exploration, and liberation. I am specially trained in lending  a neutral ear as you work through new truths and find growth in old wounds. As a relationship therapy  specialist, I know that enriching connections to Self, Partners, Family, and Community are key to  achieving the high quality of life that you deserve. My role is to help you gain confidence, truth, and a  chance to re-write your life’s narrative. I work with individuals, people in relationships (couples, spouses,  polycules, etc.), and families of all kinds. I draw from a strengths-based humanistic approach that is  collaborative, flexible, and client-centered.  

My Approach:  

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and curious. I use empathetic listening skills with an  emphasis on exploring personal and relational meaning. With these tools, I can help you seek a fuller  understanding of yourself and your connections to the world.  

I am particularly excited to work with individuals and couples grappling with sex and intimacy issues,  gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, shame, self-esteem, and trauma. I fully support and affirm BIPOC,  LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, kink, BDSM, and other marginalized communities.  

Focus Areas:  

Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, body image issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, sex  therapy issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, spirituality  

Treatment Approaches:  

Treatment is shaped by the unique needs of each client. I clinically gravitate to the following modalities  and principles; Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Structural Family Therapy,  Internal Family Systems, The Wheel of Consent, Polyvagal Theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative  Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy
