Getting to know Dr. Anne Marie Perera

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in trauma-informed, relational, and body-based therapy. My work is grounded in cultural humility, deep respect for lived experience, and the belief that healing happens when we feel truly seen and safe. I support Gen Z, Millennials, and adults navigating intergenerational trauma, complex relationships, anxiety, and burnout. My goal is to create a space where you can exhale, let go of survival mode, and begin to reconnect with yourself.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and real. I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level advice—you’ve probably already tried those. Instead, I help you slow down, tune into your body, and explore the deeper roots of what’s keeping you stuck. Many of my clients are high-achieving, outwardly put-together individuals who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or “not enough” on the inside. I bring a mix of insight-oriented work, somatic awareness, and practical tools to help you move from just surviving to actually feeling present and at peace.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, we’ll take time to get to know your story, your goals, and what you’ve been carrying. I’ll guide you in exploring both your present struggles and the patterns shaped by your past, while paying attention to how your body and nervous system respond. Sessions often include talking through experiences, noticing emotions and body cues, and practicing strategies to manage stress, set boundaries, and build healthier relationships. Over time, therapy becomes a space to untangle old survival strategies, process pain at a pace that feels safe, and begin to feel more grounded, connected, and whole.
