More about Perry
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I defined personal values decades ago that have served as beacons in my life, both professionally and privately. Growth, integrity, vision, excellence and service are the principles that are bedrock to all of the choices I make as a psychotherapist. My approach is one that empathetically seeks to empower individuals by encouraging participation and ownership of responsibility, and instilling confidence and determination in attaining treatment goals, all within a safe, non-judgmental setting. I have worked in both medical and clinical settings serving adults, veterans, and families with issues including post-traumatic stress, grief, depression and anxiety, and addiction. As a retired military veteran, I bring a worldly perspective to my practice using an eclectic approach focused on the individual. I look forward to being of service to you in your wellness journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Perry was a fantastic help as I navigated leaving a difficult job. His perspective and insight were invaluable as I wrestled with the decision. I'm truly grateful for his support.
Perry has been so helpful over the last few years in not only supporting me but helping me manage stress and family challenges. I really think I am so much better because I got lucky enough to have him as my therapist! With his diverse background, he knows so much about the world and his perspective is always appreciated.
Very patient, kind and wise. Keeps me grounded in my chaotic life and always finds positive suggestions to my concerns.
Perry is a wonderful therapist. He is very skilled and listening and understanding my needs and knows when to validate and offer advice when appropriate.

Awesome therapist!
Perry has been great source of encouragement while navigating the awful journey of grief and the ever lasting chaos of Bipolar. I know there's a safe
Talking with Perry is like being wrapped in a warm hug. He was exactly what I needed and I am very grateful for my time with him.
He is absolutely wonderful.
Down to earth, good listener and just genuinely eat to talk too. As a ~30 year old man, I really couldn't have made a better therapist for me if I tried. Thank you
Mr Hudson is very patient, knowledgeable and pleasant. I look forward to sharing my chaotic existence knowing I'll get thoughtful and sound advice without judgement.
I feel very grateful to be connected with Perry. He is compassionate, insightful and encouraging, and helps me find constructive ways forward.
I've spoken with several therapists before and never really had a connection with any. But with Perry its different, he's like a grandfatherly figure full of warmth, a good listener, and great advice. I always feel comfortable asking to talk about things that are bothering me or if something isn't quite connecting with me, asking for a different example or advice. He respond fairly quickly to any messages I've sent between video sessions. And hes overall a great therapist and has really helped me work through my long term and short term problems.
Perry is really awesome to work with, he’s really helped to put things into perspective and nurtures me. I have a lot of respect for Perry and I strongly suggest him. Thanks Perry!
Perry was the the counselor "randomly" chosen for me by BetterHelp. He was insightful, understanding and a pleasure to work with.
Perry listened w/ compassion and understanding. I was given space to process and heal while in our sessions, and I’m very grateful. His wisdom will stick with me!
I came to betterhelp looking for help for the devastating grief of losing my son. Perry Hudson introduced himself as a counselor back in Jan 2021 and I felt very little chance of being able to survive this horror. I am so grateful for the guidance, suggestions, calm understanding and simple patience that I have received in the past 6 months, through the tears, anger, despair, and all that my grief entails, I could always count on Perry to be a sounding board and and a safe place to land. I am now capable of moving on, feel confident for the future and am so very thankful to have had met Perry at the most difficult time of my life.
Mr. Perry has truly helped me clearly see my life path.
Perry seems like he is just like me. It helps with trusting him to share my thoughts and feelings with him. He is relatable and understanding.
My counselor is one of the best he tries so hard to understand me and what is happening to me he gives me options on how to better fix my problems he is so professional and respectful at all time and really does care
Mr. Hudson has been quite insightful from the get go. He is very easy to talk to and offers great perspective. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for assistance, who has had a difficult time "clicking" with a counselor, to contact him.
Man where to begin, Perry is the man. He is so kind and insightful and he really listens with intent to care whole heartedly about what ails you. Such a wise man, honestly after things got better for me I just enjoyed talking to him 1 on 1, not even about what my problems were but just having a nice chat with a friend. I enjoy his company very much as well as his opinion. To give him 10/10 stars would be an understatement to just how awesome this man is.
I really appreciate Perry’s compassionate and thoughtful approach. I feel very seen and supported by Perry.
Perry is understanding and this has helped me a lot. It's a big deal to feel heard and not judged. There's also a lot of value in the techniques he suggests. I also like that working with him is like talking to a wise person. :)
Perry is a kind soul, he is gentle and extremely well spoken. He is always ready to help when we’re in a session together. Strongly suggest him.
Good listener - perceptive and clear thinking. A pleasure to work with.
Perry is a great listener and helps me unpack what my primary difficulties are in ways I wouldn't have found or thought of on my own. He's been a helpful sounding board in tough times.
Perry is gentle and kind. An active listener and perceptive counselor who is genuine and present in all sessions.
Encouraging guidance, non judgemental, patient and friendly. Very professional and supportive.
I have only had a couple of sessions with Perry so far and I am already mind blown at the things he has helped me to uncover and realize. Quite frankly I felt like I was a mess and had no one to turn to. Perry has already helped me to save my job and we are currently working on many self improvement goals that I want to conquer. Revamping certain parts of my relationship with my husband is also something we are working on and my husband is so happy that I have taken this step. I am excited for what is to come and to finally get the help and support that I have needed for a long time now. I have a lot of things to work on and with Perry’s help I am confident I can change my life for the better.
