About

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. Currently, I teach at Lesley University as an adjunct professor for the expressive therapies graduate program. 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 client's relationship to the self, others, and the environment in efforts of moving towards healing. I am a white, cisgender Latina. I am an ally to LGBTQIA+ community. My work, regardless of the client's identity, is gender affirming. I have worked with children, adolescents, and caregivers 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.
