Dr. Veronica Perin is a licensed clinical psychologist with a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, and specializes in insomnia treatment using CBT-I.
Dr. Perin's approach to therapy:
"Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery that can often feel daunting to begin and my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I have always enjoyed the art of deep listening. I understood from a young age that opportunities to connect with others in these meaningful ways are a true gift are some of life's luxuries. People often gravitate towards relationships that feel safe and I've had the pleasure of being that somebody in clinic, school, and hospital settings."
