Hope Perlman

Therapist

(518) 223-9615

Hope takes a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to psychotherapy. Her
overall interest is in helping people working through trauma, grief, and life transitions in their
many manifestations. She works with individuals, couples, and families. Hope also loves to work
with children using a child-centered play therapy approach. She brings her life experiences, her
time on both sides of the couch, her over twenty years of meditation practice, and her
background in writing and teaching to her practice. Hope’s approach to each client is to meet
them where they are, address their symptoms, and empower them to become the full
expression of whom they are meant to be. She incorporates psychodynamic psychotherapy,
systems theory, bodywork, mindfulness, and cognitive and behavioral strategies as appropriate.
Hope graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in English and earned a Master’s in
Elementary Education prior to earning a Master’s in Social Work from the University at Albany’s
School of Social Welfare.
