I help sensitive adults be who they were meant to be.
Find Your Center. Find Your Strength.
Does this sound familiar?
You often feel unseen and misunderstood by the people in your life.
You spend most of your time doing things for others, feeling unappreciated and undervalued.
You believe in the goodness of people and you seek to be a source of good in the world. Yet, it often seems like others take advantage of your goodness and you’ve been deeply hurt before.
You know you need to set more boundaries with people but you hate disappointing people.
You are so attuned to the feelings of others that you’re often torn between telling someone how you really feel versus what they want to hear.
You often feel triggered by anxiety and sometimes it’s obvious what’s causing it and other times, it is not.
You have a pattern of unsatisfying personal relationships that leave you feeling more drained than fulfilled.
People come to you when they need something but you feel like there is nowhere for you to turn when you need it. It’s lonely being everyone’s go-to.
You want to be more creative but struggle with finding the time, energy, or inspiration.
You sense that there are parts of you that are unexpressed.
You might have tried therapy in the past but you might not have felt entirely understood or seen. Perhaps you questioned whether you could safely discuss certain experiences without being judged. Maybe you felt like it didn’t help you get to the heart of things fast enough.
I’m glad you found me.
Hi, I’m Dr. Perone
(she/her/hers)
I help highly sensitive, empathic, people-pleasing adults connect with their deepest selves. I help my clients reconcile the conflict between choosing to please themselves versus pleasing others. I help people heal from the anxiety that results from inner conflict, the depression from denying our deepest desires, and the loneliness from not feeling seen by others. I help my clients transform toxic relationships, beliefs, and habits into an honest, creative, and satisfying life.
I am here to support you, encourage you, and help you see what is challenging to see on your own. I am a therapist for spiritually curious adults and teens who are willing to do the work of healing themselves so they live their lives with clarity, intention, and purpose. I am here to help you work through the messy, murky waters of the human world while being a supportive ally to your journey. I can help you feel courageous enough to take more risks in life so you can live it fully.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I welcome people from all races, faiths, and walks of life. I am a psychologist for social and ecological justice.
I provide online therapy to adults and teens in North Carolina and California. I also provide in-person therapy to those in the Raleigh-Durham area of NC.
Services
Individual Therapy
I offer in-person sessions to those in the Raleigh-Durham area of NC and virtual therapy to residents in North Carolina and California. Telehealth in other states may become available in the future.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is an underrated therapy format and carries incredible power for healing. Group therapy offers the opportunity for forging new bonds in a facilitated and safe environment, receive guidance and support from a multitude of perspectives, practice new ways to relating to others, and work through relational blocks. Groups are TBA and options for in person or virtual will be available.
Ecotherapy and Yoga
Let’s break through the confines of the therapy office or virtual bubble we’re accustomed to. Let’s break through the confines of our minds through movement. Let’s delight in the beauty that surrounds us. Let’s mindfully embrace the moment, look to nature and within for clues about how to proceed on your journey and work through life’s current challenges. Available for residents of the Raleigh-Durham, NC area.
Clinician Support Services
In addition to clinical services, I also offer support to other mental health clinicians seeking to grow in their careers. These services include:
Transpersonal Clinical Supervision for pre-licensed clinicians seeking hours toward board licensure or licensed clinicians seeking mentorship on how to integrate transpersonal psychotherapy into their practice.
Case Consultation

Clinical Training
