Dr. Nilda Perez, LCSW, DSL
About Me
I am Dr. Nilda Perez, a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in trauma-informed care and EMDR therapy. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals heal from complex trauma, including childhood abuse, spiritual trauma, and life adversity. I also specialize in providing comprehensive, trauma-informed psychological evaluations for immigration cases, offering clear, evidence-based documentation to support legal proceedings. My approach integrates cultural sensitivity, clinical rigor, and a deep understanding of the neurobiological impact of trauma. I am committed to guiding clients toward meaningful healing, resilience, and sustained well-being.
Education & Experience
I hold a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership (DSL) and a Master’s in Social Work (MSW). My academic foundation blends advanced clinical expertise, trauma-informed care, and strategic insight. I am currently working toward EMDR certification, building upon my formal EMDR training to deepen my skills in helping individuals heal from complex trauma. I continue to expand my knowledge through advanced coursework in neuroscience, trauma recovery, and culturally responsive mental health practices.
