I’m Perla Abeyta, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Strength Within Counseling. I work with teens, adults, and couples who are navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, chronic stress, and difficult life transitions. I have particular experience working with veterans and military-connected clients, but my practice is open to anyone who is looking for support in understanding what they’ve been through, developing healthier patterns, and moving forward with greater confidence.

My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.
