Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience helping teens and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's emotional challenges. I understand that being a teenager or young adult isn't always easy. Between school, relationships, family expectations, and figuring out who you are, life can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Stacey Perez

Stacey Perez

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Mental health acts as a lens that shapes how we see and understand our experiences. When we take good care of it, it can make life's challenges feel less overwhelming, helping us to face them more calmly and confidently. As a therapist, I firmly believe that mental health fosters a resilient mindset that promotes self-compassion, acceptance, optimism and hope. With nearly a decade of experience as a practicing therapist, I have supported clients of all ages, ranging from infants and parents to adolescents and adults. My current focus is on helping young adults navigating the pressures of expectations, feeling disconnected from their voice, or uncertain about their next steps. I provide a space where you can fully be yourself.

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!
