LPC, 1 years of experience
Hello, I'm Priscilla Marie Silva-Guajardo, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where we can work together to address challenges, explore emotions, and develop practical strategies for better mental health. My goal is to help you navigate life’s ups and downs, understand yourself more deeply, and build resilience for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
In our first session together, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where I will take the time to get to know you and understand your unique experiences and challenges. We’ll discuss your goals for therapy, the concerns that brought you in, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. I will explain my approach to counseling and ensure that you feel comfortable and informed about the process. Our first session is an opportunity for you to ask any questions and start building a foundation for our work together. You will leave with a clearer sense of direction for your journey toward healing and growth
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my compassionate approach, strong communication skills, and ability to build trust with my clients. I have had the privilege of working with adolescents and adults professionally for the past 15 years, which has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face at different stages of life. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best mental health providers, which has enriched my own practice and allowed me to continuously grow in my field. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and understood. With my experience, cultural competence, and Christian faith-based perspective, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that resonates with each client’s unique needs and values. Ultimately, my goal is to empower clients to tap into their inner strength and achieve lasting positive change.
I am best positioned to serve individuals who are seeking support in managing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is especially beneficial for those who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you're dealing with past trauma, adjusting to changes in your life, or simply looking for guidance in building a healthier mindset, I am here to help. I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a focus on creating a safe, compassionate, and personalized space for healing and growth.
I utilize a collaborative therapy where the client is an active participant. It feels empowering because the client learns that their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and that they have the power to change them. This treatment experience is tailored to the client's individual needs, ensuring that skills learned are directly applicable to their everyday life.
