Percilla Carey, LCSW

Psychotherapist
TX
I am Percilla Carey, but everyone just calls me PC. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Texas, Arlington and got my license to do therapy in 1990. Therapy does not need to be boring or feel like a trip to the principal's office-it can be fun. We might have a non-verbal crayon conversation or use Squiggles to draw a picture and tell a story. I use therapeutic storytelling, art, games, and singing to help children address their issues without becoming overwhelmed. For teenagers, I use a three-level cartoon technique to help them process their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I worked for five years with teenagers in a private school. Over the years, I have supported children and teens who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. I have led sexual abuse therapy groups with girls ages 10-13 and counseled children and teenagers referred by the school system. Children's literature is often filled with fairy tales and make-believe, but many children and adolescents live in a very real world with no magical solutions. They may have been exposed to unsafe environments and unsafe people. Even small children can become worried and anxious, while teens may lash out in anger, aggression, and defiance. If the trauma they have experienced is not addressed, it can cause long-lasting effects. When bullied or feeling unsafe, it is hard to focus in school. I would welcome the opportunity to work with your child or adolescent and help them find a place of hope and joy in their lives. I would love to see them move toward their full potential.
