- LMHC
My name is Priscilla (pronouns she/her/hers/ella), I am a first generation Latina American from Costa Rica. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I attended Lesley University for Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Dance/Movement Therapy. I honor the client’s whole self in treatment, paralleling the nonverbal, holistic approach of Dance/movement therapy. I believe in a collaborative approach, where client and therapist look at the relationship to the self, others, and the environment in efforts of moving towards healing.
I am white, cisgender Latina, my pronouns are she/her/hers/ella. I am an ally to LGBTQIA+ community. My work, regardless of the client’s identity, is gender affirming. I have worked with children and adolescents, and family of their loved ones, for individuals who are in the process of exploring their gender, sexuality and other aspects of the self. I believe psychoeducation is a powerful tool, and with it we can empower the community to align with the basic human rights all are worthy of.
My past work includes school-based therapy, outpatient therapy, residential level of care, and managing an outpatient clinic both through telehealth and in-person. In addition to direct care work, I will be working as an adjunct professor at Lesley University. I primarily work with the Latinx population and am well versed on the multigenerational trauma affecting this population.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
