Darlene Aviles Perez(She/Her/Hers)

Darlene Aviles Perez is a licensed family therapist in Pennsylvania who helps parents, teens, families, couples, and individuals that are having difficulties within the most treasured relationships. If a client is feeling the sting of invalidation, criticism, or confusion, Darlene can help. Darlene invites clients to explore dynamics within his or her life in attempts to highlight supports and gain clarity. Her goal is that through the therapy process, clients can co-discover more healthy relational dynamics so clients need to talk with a professional less and can lean on natural supports more!

Darlene uses attachment based, trauma informed, and strengths based approaches in working with clients. All stories and perspectives are valued, as all stories are unique.

Darlene has special interests in the areas of parenting, life transitions, intergenerational work, spirituality, and family or relationship challenges.

Sessions with Darlene are led by the comfort and the strength of the therapeutic relationship. The biggest predictor of success in therapy is most impacted by the client relationship with the therapist. If the client is not comfortable, Darlene will work with the client to get connected to another therapist. Assuming a good therapeutic fit, it is most typical to see changes and meet initial goal within 16-24 sessions, although some clients may need more or less time to meet goals.

At this time, Darlene is only offering online sessions for residents of Pennsylvania, typically for clients over the age of 12.
