EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist, Consultant, and Trainer. President of Miami Holistic Therapy & Trauma Resolution, Inc.
Welcome. Trauma can echo in the body long after the moment has passed.
Here, I make space for what was too much, too fast, or too alone.
Psychotherapy can help you soften the alarm, return to yourself, and move forward.
Meet Dr. Livia Perez
I am a Doctor of Psychology and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) devoted to helping individuals heal from trauma and reconnect with their authentic sense of self.
As an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist, Consultant, and Trainer, my work bridges the science of psychology with the art of compassionate presence. My approach integrates evidence-based methods with holistic, mind-body practices to foster deep and lasting transformation.
For more than fifteen years, I have had the privilege of accompanying individuals through complex and often life-altering experiences, including sexual and physical abuse, homicide, medical trauma, and other forms of psychological pain. My clinical expertise is strengthened by over thirty advanced trauma-focused trainings, reflecting a lifelong commitment to learning, professional excellence, and the continual refinement of my therapeutic practice.
Clinical Expertise
I specialize in the assessment and treatment of trauma through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My clinical work focuses on supporting individuals who have experienced:
· Sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.
· Abandonment and attachment trauma.
· Medical trauma and pain.
· Combat trauma and moral injury.
· Vicarious and secondary trauma (including witnessing homicide).
· Depression, anxiety, and grief.
Specialized Psychotherapy Services
Trauma psychotherapy for adults
I provide specialized psychotherapy for adults who have experienced trauma at any stage of development, including childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. My clinical approach is grounded in a scientifically supported understanding of how trauma affects emotional, cognitive, and relational functioning throughout the lifespan.
Play therapy for children and adolescents
I provide specialized psychotherapy for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, emotional distress, or difficulties in expressing and regulating their emotions. In my work, I integrate Play Therapy and EMDR Sand Tray Therapy, both of which offer developmentally appropriate ways for young patients to process experiences that may be difficult to articulate with words.
MAUI:
Healing After Pregnancy and Birth Trauma
Pregnancy loss can be a deeply distressing experience that affects not only the woman but also her partner and family. It can lead to grief, sadness, anxiety, and post-traumatic symptoms, as well as feelings of disbelief, guilt, shame, inadequacy, or self-blame.
I approach these experiences with compassion and clinical care, providing a safe and nurturing space where emotional healing can unfold at each individual’s pace.
For Organizations & Companies
I offer trauma-informed talks and trainings designed to support emotional regulation, resilience, and sustainable performance, helping organizations create healthier, more conscious, and more human-centered workplaces.
