Client Testimonials
“I believe Well Williamsburg was and is life transforming. The location is frequently located in the heart of Williamsburg, with coffee shops and parking! The entire staff is very friendly and very accommodating. I started going about a year ago during a very low point in my life and because of the positive changes and coping strategies I learned, I am doing much better and continue going to learn more life skills. The therapists there are amazing at what they do and it is set in a very relaxing and comforting environment. They are very understanding and try to be as flexible as possible to fit your scheduling needs. I have had my share of therapists in the past, however this is the only one that wanted me to commit and makes me look forward to going every week. Definitely would recommend!”

“I used to struggle to find felt therapy anything more than an exhausting, unnecessary chore- until I began work here with Lieba. Yes, it’s still exhausting, but certainly not unnecessary. The work we do fosters real progress and trust, I cannot express enough how safe this space is. It is a place I feel seen, heard and most importantly understood. Whilst there are hard days and great ones, I know that there is always a place to bring all my emotions and lighten the load. I genuinely look forward to many more sessions of learning and growing. The nifty catchphrases don’t hurt either #trendingtrying.”

“I feel pretty lucky to have had a friend put me in touch with the women at Well Williamsburg Psychotherapy. They take on the hard issues we face with grace, style and a lot of kindness. I feel even luckier to have been paired with Rachele as a therapist. She is incredibly kind and smart. She was very gentle with me during a really hard time and guided me with a ton of professionalism and warmth. It really helped me to be approached in this way. I would also like to point out that she has an uncanny knack for hearing your needs, even when you do not know how to express them properly. I suppose that makes her a good listener, which let’s face it, is pretty essential to being a good therapist. I cannot recommend Well Williamsburg enough. These ladies are the real deal. Also, the office is absolutely gorgeous, which is a pretty nice bonus!”

“I can honestly say that I’m the type of person who doesn’t ask for help and thinks can tackle and handle anything thrown my way. That is till a little over a year ago when I began suffering from depression because of how intense my anxiety became and I felt and acted like a whole different person. My anxiety and depression took over my life, and I wasn’t used to not being in control of something. I lost a lot of weight, lost interest in things I enjoyed doing and didn’t feel like myself to the point that it affected my everyday life. It truly felt like a very dark time in my life, so I decided to reach out to people and came across Well Williamsburg. I began seeing Alicia Perez and after 8 months I’m getting back to my old self (actually even better than before!) It took time, patience and various techniques and methods to help me get through day to day life activities but it was all truly worth it. Alicia was very professional, patient, and very accommodating with me. I highly recommend her and actually anyone here. Thank you so much for all your help Alicia!”

“I was first introduced to Well Williamsburg through their support group, Shameslayers. Although the group is geared toward those struggling with eating issues and body image concerns, the topics and issues discussed go beyond the confines of food and weight. Relational dynamics and the challenges that come with simply navigating day to day were often central to discussions. This made me feel less judgmental of myself and allowed me to find a sense of peace in the reality that struggling is a part of the human experience and these struggles can be an opportunity for connection. The therapists at Well Williamsburg are knowledgeable and well trained, as well as talented in their craft-truly listening to each client and making one feel heard and understood. I’ve recently begun individual therapy with Lieba, and have so far accomplished what would have taken many months or years with other therapists I’ve seen in the past. Lieba provides a safe, warm, non-judgemental space where she offers validation and openness to explore whatever comes up. She fosters a collaborative relationship, walking alongside me as I process my thoughts, feelings, and journey of recovery.”

“I started working with Alicia last fall and I’ve never felt so lucky to have met someone. Alicia has changed my life in ways I didn’t know were possible. She suggested I do cpt with her and was very clear about what that would be. I was terrified and she was always gentle in giving me the time I needed to do the work but she was direct in a way I really appreciated. One of my favorite things about Alicia is her ability to see through me and call me out in a way that made me feel deeply seen. Through my cpt work with her, I’ve grown in extraordinary ways. I never thought I’d say I’m proud of myself and I certainly didn’t think I could let trauma go. I feel a sense of freedom now that gives me hope and I couldn’t have done it without her. Anyway. All this to say Alicia is exceptional and I love her dearly. ”

“I never really considered myself to be a happy person. I have often attracted or created a lot of conflict and chaos in my life. I never really new how to speak to people when there was emotion involved and I would go from 0 to 1,000 in less than a second. I have lived in NYC for 14 years which is a pretty difficult place to live. Also, Im a single mother and I coparent with someone who can be extremely difficult so I have a lot of negativity surrounding that. I have felt like the black sheep in my family since I can remember. I have only been seeing Lieba for a little over a month and I am already finding life to be a lot more manageable. The chaos is still there but I am learning how to handle things a bit more calm and collected. Normally when I’m angry or upset I react irrationally and fly off the handle cursing but recently I was fired from my job and I handled it a lot better than I could have imagined. In this short time at Well Williamsburg my relationships with my family members have slowly been improving. My mom and I were actually able to have a conversation about our feelings and nobody hung up on each other and we came to a resolution where we were both able to feel like we were listening to one another. Life is still hard but I am in a much better place than I have ever been. I think of ways I want to live instead of reasons why I want to die. I am really grateful that I found this safe space and I couldn’t be prouder of the progress I have made in such a short time. Thank you Lieba for everything. ”

“Alicia is an absolutely fantastic therapist. She creates a safe, comfortable space and offers interesting, consistent insights into my emotions and behavior. Put simply, therapy with Alicia is probably one of the best things I’ve ever done for my mental health. ”
