Dr. Angelica Perez-Litwin, PhD, MBA

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical and professional experience across different settings, including private practice, research institutions, community mental health centers, and skilled nursing homes.

In my private practice, I work closely with individuals who lead busy lives, whether due to a highly stressful job, being a parent, or juggling being a caregiver and other responsibilities. Many of my clients are challenged by anxiety and symptoms of depression and sometimes feel overwhelmed balancing work, life, and family. Others are experiencing a significant life transition -- the end of a relationship, a stressful life event, or becoming a caregiver to a parent/partner for the first time. I also work closely with individuals who feel burned out in demanding industries, including healthcare, legal, technology, and education.

For the past two decades, I've been in private practice, owning and leading two group practices in Greenville and Greer, South Carolina. Before this, I held a faculty appointment at the New York University School of Medicine, spearheading an NIH-funded research initiative at the forefront of Alzheimer’s and dementia studies. More recently, I was Director at the Prisma Health Addiction Research Center, overseeing research projects. I continue contributing as a consultant on various research endeavors within the center.

In 2020, fueled by my commitment to addressing our contemporary mental health crisis and reshaping the therapy landscape, I embarked on a new venture: the creation of Lumin — an innovative therapy group practice. My entrepreneurial journey with Lumin has been marked by previous collaborations with today’s leading technology companies and academic institutions such as Google and X (formerly Twitter) and Columbia and Harvard University.
