Adriana Karina Perez
Therapy for mental health concerns
I am a Registered Social Worker in Ontario and British Columbia, with eight years of experience across diverse areas of practice including crisis intervention, family health teams, virtual therapy platforms, private practice, and program development in the non-profit sector.
I currently lead a government funded low-intensity, internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) program at GreenShield Health, where I provide consultation and clinical supervision to a team of therapists and coaches delivering evidence-based care through various programs, including the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program. Before beginning my career in social work, I worked as a certified Immigration Consultant and Law Clerk, supporting newcomers in obtaining legal status in Canada.
Alongside this work, I see clients through my private practice based in Squamish, British Columbia, offering in-person and virtual therapy to adults across B.C. and Ontario.
As a dedicated mental health professional, I am committed to ongoing learning, development, and adherence to the highest standards of care. Below are my qualifications and credentials, which reflect my experience and my commitment to walking alongside you with care, skill, and integrity.
