DAVID PEREZ, LMSW

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who works with children, teens, and families navigating substance use, behavioral challenges, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach, meeting clients where they are and helping them build practical skills, resilience, and meaningful support systems. I integrate MI, CBT, and DBT to foster trust, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and support healthier relationships. Inspired by my own lived experiences and grounded by my military background, I bring empathy, discipline, and steadiness to my work, striving to create a calm and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and empowered to grow. Outside of therapy, I enjoy playing basketball, spending time with family, working on cars, and friendly competition over dominoes.
