Hi; I’m Lewis “Lou” Perry, I am an LMHC and have worked in the field of mental health for 25years. I am looking forward to assisting you with your issues and concerns that may be stopping you from moving forward. Building a solid foundation through counseling is such a strong step, that although initially feels a bit scary is really an exciting adventure. Counseling isn’t a nervous dog, but the dog that runs across the yard to greet you.
My objective is to guide you through the fog of uncertainty, fear, feelings of being stuck, weak perspective, and feelings of isolation. These emotions when understood often help open a door to delve into other issues or illnesses that feed ongoing problems. I suffered with a severe anxiety disorder for 20 years and more prior to becoming a therapist. I know anxiety well and also use my experiences with anxiety to help you.
I enjoy working in individual settings with young adults through senior adults. I worked in a correctional environment for 8-3/4 yrs and worked with a multitude of mental health issues with many secondary features. I concentrate on anxiety disorders that affect so many. PTSD, Panic Disorder, GAD, and Depression, and issues of Co-morbid diagnosis are a few of what I encompass while working with clients.
As others of my profession, I use different models to explore how best to help you. My goal is always to guide you through and understand the issues that are blocking you from the daily grind that life brings to us. We’ll “partner up” and work together to resolve the issues you have. I am very dedicated to the confidentiality and ethics of counseling that you deserve in order to help you feel comfortable to discuss “truly” what’s on your mind. I look forward to helping you move toward a new adventure of your life. Lou.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I’ve never been one to “want” to do therapy, mainly because I didn’t feel comfortable but Lewis Perry makes me feel very comfortable & makes it easy for me to open up about things I never thought I would be able to talk about.
Lou is great He is helping me get back on track and overcome obstacles that have long been standing in my way!
Lou is great. I’m a mental health professional and was wondering how this would work. It was easy and comfortable talking with Lou. I met my goals with his help. I highly recommend him for therapy.
Louis is a knowledgeable therapist who care about his clients and offered good advice and tools to help. Thank you Louis.
Lou is great!
Great therapist. Easy to talk to.
Lewis is the first person to understand my struggles with anxiety from a personal level. His method of desensitizing worked almost immediately, while most well noted methods didnt help me. I am excited and optimistic to continue my journey with Lewis!
