It Shouldn't Be This Hard To Be A Person
When coping no longer works, your sense of self feels unclear, or relationships feel strained, you are not alone. Therapy offers space to breathe, heal, and grow, helping you find a path forward.
About
Héctor Pérez
Bilingual (Spanish/English) | Bicultural (Boricua) | Queer | Brown-bodied Clinician & Educator based in MA
With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting queer and gender-diverse individuals, as well as people from minoritized communities. I work with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and authentic. I blend humor, creativity, and reflection with compassion and effective strategies. Therapy here is not just about symptom management but about cultivating healing, resistance, and belonging.
I engage as both a witness and a co-thinker, not a detached expert. Your insights and survival strategies are valued as essential contributions to our work. Together, we create space for authentic connection, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
Grounded in trauma-informed, liberation-focused, and anti-oppressive care, I center authenticity, celebrate resilience, and support you in reclaiming your agency.
