Kelly Perez de la Cruz LCSW
Education
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Parent Child Interaction Therapist (PCIT). I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Washington State University and my Masters in Social Work from Eastern Washington University. Previously, I was a supervisor at a teen peer helpline where I provided support to teens helping other teens about various topics such as self harm, depression, social anxiety, and school stress. I have been working as a mental health therapist for children and young adults providing therapy on anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, early childhood defiance, and significant difficulties with adjustment.
Services Offered
Individual and Family Therapy
Theoretical Orientation
I primarily address therapy through a Strengths-Based, Attachment Focused, and Systems Perspective approach. The therapy models I incorporate into therapy include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I view therapy as being collaborative and increasing young people's resiliency to manage life's challenges.
More Information
I enjoy reading, crafting, walking, camping, generally being outside, and spending time with family.
