Therapy is a safe space that invites you to discover more about who you are and explore who you want to be.
Hi, I’m Kersten Perry, MA, LCMHCA.
I am passionate about meeting my clients where they are and working with them to develop skills to navigate life’s stressors and transitions. I find joy in helping my clients find and understand their individuality in order to create and maintain a healthy sense of self and relationships. I will utilize your own personal strengths to help you set, pursue, and accomplish goals and, together, we will come up with strategies that best fit your needs.
When I am not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and animals. The experience can be made even better when it involves a warm weather activity, a game night, delicious food, or a sporting event (especially when an NC State team is playing; Go Pack!).
I have always loved connecting with people and learning more about who they are so it only felt natural to apply this to my career as well.
Connecting with others can provide us the opportunity to feel seen, known, and loved.
