Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unable to manage the stress of life? Are you challenged by compulsive or addictive behaviors that you cannot seem to stop? Struggling in relationships with others or experiencing shame? Many of us need to reach out for assistance in order to figure out how to better manage stress and enjoy life, rather then feel burdened by it. This is not weakness or lack of self-will. Rather it is a fact of our existence as human beings. We often need help from one another to accomplish certain tasks we cannot do alone.

Too often psychotherapy focuses on causality, pathology and cures. However, rather than being "sick" or 'broken", often we are just lost inside ourselves or relationships. Everyone is a unique person with their own story, experience and perspective. The goal of therapy is to achieve a deeper awareness of where we are, to discover internal meaning for our many experiences, and to experience a life worth living. While working towards that awareness, I also feel it important to teach individuals, couples and families the skills needed to cope with the pain and day to day stressors that bring them into therapy.

Since the pandemic there has been an increase in folks struggling with depression, sexuality issues, chronic illness, addiction, and having problems in relationships. I believe that therapy can help develop skills to face life's challenges. All individuals have the capacity to change and live a full life based on their core values. Therapy is a place to examine your principles and how you can use them as a compass to lead you to a life that more accurately reflects your values. Learning strong coping skills and an awareness of reactions vs responses can provide relief from chronic issues of depression and anxiety. Change happens!

My name is Priscilla Willmott and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I approach mental health issues like depression and anxiety as a natural consequence of our environment and the inability to be accepted as our true selves in the contexts we live in. I use experiential therapy, which is a process-oriented perspective that aims to restore and recover the parts of our authenticity that were detached as a result of our environments.

Many of us struggle each day under the weight of old wounds, challenging relationship dynamics, and internalized narratives that keep us from thriving. Your suffering and symptoms might feel like too much to hold alone. We all have the ability to navigate and adapt to adverse life events and circumstances, and therapy can help us cultivate the sense of agency and clarity we need to create inner and outer change. I will provide compassionate presence and a safe environment where you can begin to explore the parts of yourself that are hurting, be seen in all your complexity, and work collaboratively toward healing.

Now that you have PTSD from drowning in a sea of therapist marketing profiles, I’m here to help! Hit me up if you’re a high conflict couple and you’re fighting too much, or an individual and you’re fighting with (parts of?) yourself (or others?) in your head too much. I’m foundationally "humanistic-existentialist", meaning I join you on your journey with curiosity/authenticity/empathy, and help you become more confidently you through a relational process. But I'm trained in lots of acronyms: Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or past trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, pain, or other traumatic experience. You may feel out of control and unsafe of your life or emotions, anxious about even the smallest things, or like you just can’t find your footing. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life: your relationships, work, and decisions about the future. Despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.
