About Ricardo Perez, LSW

A note from Ricardo
Real conversations. Practical support. Meaningful growth. I'm Ricardo, a bilingual Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) providing virtual therapy in English and Spanish. Before becoming a therapist, I served as a police officer and Crisis Intervention Officer, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges faced by first responders and public safety professionals. I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. Together, we'll build practical tools for meaningful, lasting change with empathy, honesty, and hope.
