About Lea

Real work.
Not just talking.

I'm Lea Nicole Perry — an LMFT and doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD, anticipated 2027). My practice, Felt Sense Collective, exists because I believe the most meaningful change doesn't come from managing symptoms — it comes from genuinely understanding what's driving them. That distinction matters, and it shapes everything about how I work.

I've had the privilege of working alongside people across the full spectrum of human experience — in community mental health clinics, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, and in private practice. I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and that breadth of experience has taught me that people are far more complex, and far more resilient, than any single diagnosis or presenting problem suggests.

I approach this work from a holistic place. I'm a certified yoga instructor, and my belief that the mind, body, and relational world are inseparable isn't just philosophy — it shows up in how I listen, how I sit with someone, and what I pay attention to in the room. Healing rarely happens in one dimension.

My doctoral training has immersed me in the science of neuropsychological functioning — how the brain develops, organizes itself, and quietly shapes the way we think, feel, regulate, and connect. That knowledge doesn't make our work clinical or cold. It makes it more precise. I can hear things that haven't yet been put into words, and I bring that depth into every session without ever making you feel like a case.

Therapy with me is warm, direct, and genuinely exploratory. We will have real conversations. We will go to real places. And over time, my hope is that you'll come to know yourself in a way that actually changes how you live.
