Dannielle Perez,
MSMFT, LMFTA
Dannielle works with children, teens, adults, couples, and parents, helping them navigate life's challenges, better understand themselves, and build stronger, healthier relationships. She supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, school and social challenges, family conflict, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. She understands that our experiences, relationships, and environments all play a role in shaping how we feel, behave, and connect with others.
Dannielle believes therapy should be a welcoming space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. With children, she focuses on understanding the emotions and needs behind behaviors while helping them build emotional awareness, confidence, and healthy coping skills. With teens, she creates a judgment-free space to explore identity, friendships, family relationships, independence, and the pressures of growing up. She also supports adults working through personal challenges, past experiences, and patterns that may be affecting their well-being.
Dannielle enjoys working with parents and couples to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier connections. She helps parents better understand their children's emotional needs, respond to challenging behaviors, and feel more confident in their parenting. With couples, she focuses on recognizing unhelpful patterns, rebuilding connection, and developing practical tools to navigate challenges together.
With a background in inpatient psychiatric care and community mental health, Dannielle brings a calm, compassionate, and grounded presence to her work. Her experience supporting individuals and families through difficult circumstances has shaped her appreciation for the resilience people carry, even when life feels overwhelming.
Dannielle began her academic journey at Texas A&M University and completed graduate training in marriage and family therapy through a COAMFTE-accredited program. Her approach is relational, strengths-based, and solution-focused. She recognizes that people do not experience challenges in isolation and believes understanding family dynamics, relationships, and life experiences is an important part of meaningful change.
At the heart of Dannielle's work is the belief that everyone deserves to be the author of their own story. Whether she's helping a child navigate big feelings, a teen find their voice, a parent build stronger connections, or a couple work through difficult patterns, Dannielle meets each client with warmth, curiosity, and respect. She believes therapy is not about fixing someone, but about building on the strengths they already have and helping them move forward with greater confidence, connection, and hope.
Dannielle offers Telehealth therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and parents throughout Washington State, providing compassionate, personalized support from the comfort of home.
