Daniel Alberto Perez Amparo

He/Him

Now Accepting New Clients

Daniel is a bilingual and bicultural therapist committed to collectivist and decolonized healing. Daniel knows it is a privilege to be a part of his clients' healing while holding space, challenging them to grow, and witnessing their journey with a compassionate lens. If you're looking for a fun, compassionate, and relational therapist, he might be the therapist for you!

Daniel works with people looking to address internal, relational, and/or systemic challenges negatively impacting their lives. Daniel is trained in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) and has been in the mental health field for 11+ years. He has worked with people experiencing various mental health disorders such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, in his work with folks dealing with partner and/or family issues, Daniel utilizes an attachment lens, as well as a reparenting of the inner child framework.

Daniel also works with people looking to be their most authentic selves by challenging the systems of oppression around them and within them. For example, Daniel encourages clients to explore the way in which perfectionism, binary (either/or) thinking, and hyperindividualism might be showing up in their lives, and question whether those are the values they want to live by. Similarly, Daniel explores the way in which systems of oppression like capitalism, cis-hetero-patriarchy, and white supremacy (and many others) tell us false and negative narratives about ourselves, and their impact on our self-esteem and self-worth.

Overall, Daniel’s therapeutic approach is guided by his clinical knowledge of Western psychology, as well as his lived experience with surviving multiple traumas and oppressive systems. He works on bringing healing to his clients through ongoing efforts to decolonize the mind, body, and spirit, and doing so through a collectivist approach. His approach is also a reflection of who he is as a person and professional committed to the liberation of all people by dismantling systems of oppression within and outside of us.

SPANISH:
Como terapeuta bilingüe y bicultural, Daniel empodera y anima a sus clientes a que sean lo más auténtico posible, y que también sepan desafiar a los sistemas de opresión que nos rodean y que viven dentro de nosotros, y que nos impiden vivir nuestras mejores vidas. Daniel es un terapeuta divertido, compasivo y relacional. Aborda la vida y este trabajo desde un lugar dicotómico —el mundo es tanto un lugar relajante como aterrador— y observa las circunstancias individuales y sociales, especialmente los sistemas de opresión, que impactan nuestras vidas a diario.

Daniel trabaja con pacientes que enfrentan diversos trastornos de salud mental, como el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT, o PTSD por sus siglas en inglés), la ansiedad y la depresión. Daniel está capacitado en Terapia de Exposición Narrativa (TNE) y cuenta con más de 11 años de experiencia trabajando con personas que han experimentado traumas (raciales, sexuales, migratorios, etc.). Además, en su trabajo con personas que enfrentan problemas de pareja o familiares, trabaja desde una perspectiva de apego, así como desde la perspectiva de la crianza del niño interior.

En general, el enfoque terapéutico de Daniel está guiado por su conocimiento clínico de la psicología occidental, así como por su experiencia propia sobreviviendo a múltiples traumas y sistemas opresivos, y sus esfuerzos continuos para descolonizar la mente, el cuerpo y el espíritu, y hacerlo a través de un enfoque colectivista. Y también es un reflejo de quién es él como persona y profesional comprometido con la liberación de todas las personas desmantelando los sistemas de opresión que existen dentro y fuera de nosotros.
