Hi, I'm Ron Perales, and I became a therapist because, as a child, I was profoundly helped by a therapist. I found new ways of seeing my problems and rediscovered hope.

As a bilingual therapist for the past several years, I have had the honor and privilege of sharing in unique journeys of inspiration, cultivation, and transformation regardless of barriers current events present.
