Hi; I’m Lewis “Lou” Perry, I am an LMHC and have worked in the field of mental health for 25years. I am looking forward to assisting you with your issues and concerns that may be stopping you from moving forward. Building a solid foundation through counseling is such a strong step, that although initially feels a bit scary is really an exciting adventure. Counseling isn’t a nervous dog, but the dog that runs across the yard to greet you. My objective is to guide you through the fog of uncertainty, fear, feelings of being stuck, weak perspective, and feelings of isolation. These emotions when understood often help open a door to delve into other issues or illnesses that feed ongoing problems. I suffered with a severe anxiety disorder for 20 years and more prior to becoming a therapist. I know anxiety well and also use my experiences with anxiety to help you. I enjoy working in individual settings with young adults through senior adults. I worked in a correctional environment for 8-3/4 yrs and worked with a multitude of mental health issues with many secondary features. I concentrate on anxiety disorders that affect so many. PTSD, Panic Disorder, GAD, and Depression, and issues of Co-morbid diagnosis are a few of what I encompass while working with clients. As others of my profession, I use different models to explore how best to help you. My goal is always to guide you through and understand the issues that are blocking you from the daily grind that life brings to us. We’ll “partner up” and work together to resolve the issues you have. I am very dedicated to the confidentiality and ethics of counseling that you deserve in order to help you feel comfortable to discuss “truly” what’s on your mind.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 15 years of professional work experience across ages and modalities. Beyond my counselor's training, I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology. My collective training in mental health is vast and includes providing services to children (foster care), adults, couples and families, law enforcement, elite athletes (NBA and NFL), VIP's, executives and veterans. In addition to my academic training, I also offer unique perspectives to my counseling as a man of color, as a Marine Corps veteran, as a retired blue-collar worker and as a father of two beautiful men (now in their 30’s). I mention these experiences because I want men to know that I care about what they experience at work, military or at home. I understand that many times our roles in life can get in the way of really living. And because many men grow up without a father in a culturally complex world, figuring it out on your own can be truly bruising. Still, most of my clinical experience has been working with women, who are the typical first line of defense in single-parent homes. Here is where I have gained most of my experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & depression. Philosophically, I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Finally, I also have a Bachelor's degree and years of experience in Pastoral Counseling for those who wish to receive Bible-based counseling.
