Rafael Perez, LCSWR, SEP

I am a Psychotherapist in private practice working with a somatic focus on symptoms related to traumatic stress. I work with adults (individuals, and couples). I have been a clinical social worker for over 28 years trained in the biopsychosocial model. I draw from years of training in CBT, Mindfulness, DBT, EMDR, CRM, IFS, SE, Somatic Touch, and DARe training. I am an Adjunct Associate Professor at NYU, Silver School of Social. I provide clinical consultations and I am an SE-approved session provider for professional training with the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.

I am passionate about the healing power of transforming traumatic experiences. My mission is to provide a compassionate, nurturing healing space, offering gentle and effective somatically focused techniques, tapping into the wisdom of the body to heal, restore, rewire, and transform. When we reconnect to our innate source of healing, we restore resiliency, vitality, a greater sense of freedom, wholeness, belonging, clarity, and purpose.
