About
I am Shanell Cooper, LGSW, a therapist with Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Services, LLC, and I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. I offer a supportive, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe exploring your experiences, emotions, and identity without judgment. I understand that young adulthood can be a time filled with uncertainty, pressure, and change—especially when past or ongoing trauma is part of your story. My approach is holistic, compassionate, and evidence-based, and I focus on helping you build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and develop deeper self-understanding. Together, we will work to process difficult experiences, reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm, and reconnect with your strengths.
