Daniel Pereira, MSW Supervisee in Social Work
Hi, I'm Daniel!
Each person brings a unique set of strengths, experiences, and perspectives that can be drawn upon to navigate life’s challenges. In therapy, we work together to identify and build on those strengths, using them as a foundation for meaningful growth and change. My goal is to support clients in developing practical coping skills, strengthening emotional and interpersonal effectiveness, and making sense of life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relational stress in ways that feel grounded and accessible.
I am a career-switching therapist who spent seventeen years as an English teacher, an experience that deeply shaped my understanding of communication, connection, curiosity, and the power of storytelling. I bring these values into the therapy room, creating a space that is collaborative, thoughtful, and centered on helping clients explore who they are and where they want to go next. My clinical approach integrates insight-oriented work with mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. EFT supports couples in strengthening emotional bonds, improving communication, and building greater trust and security in their relationships. I also draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Shame-Informed Therapy, and a trauma-informed lens to help clients better understand internal patterns, emotional responses, and the impact of past experiences on present-day functioning. I work with adolescents (teens and up), young adults, college students, and adults. My areas of focus include relationship challenges, couples therapy, boundary setting, autism spectrum disorders, executive functioning concerns, life transitions, career changes, depression, and anxiety. I am especially interested in helping clients make sense of shifting roles and identities across different stages of life and relationships. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a co-leader in the practice’s internship program, where I support the training and development of emerging clinicians. This role reflects my commitment to mentorship, teaching, and ongoing professional growth within the field. If you’re considering therapy, I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore whether working together feels like a good fit. I am currently offering both in person and telehealth options.
