Hi there! Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and/or dedication to self, and that's no small leap of faith! My name is Rudolpho Perez II, LCSW #91751 and go by "RUDY." I am licensed in California with 16 years of professional work experience. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels safe and supportive; where clients can challenge distorted thoughts or beliefs and simultaneously feel seen, heard, and accepted. My therapeutic style is an integrative Gestalt approach, grounded in person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), psychodynamic principles, and the Seeking Safety model. I also incorporate an understanding of family dynamics and recovery-based practices to support holistic healing. I work primarily with adults across the lifespan, ages 18 to 85+, addressing a wide range of emotional, behavioral and relational challenges.

03 · What happens next
Rudolpho practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rudolpho's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rudolpho at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rudolpho is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rudolpho.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Rudolpho actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rudolpho's - Rudolpho has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“With 16 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Rudolpho's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Rudolpho. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
