Getting to know Priscila Podesta

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fairfield University. I am trained in EMDR and IFS practices. My approach is philosophical and humanistic, meaning I consider all aspects of the whole person and what they are experiencing. My training emphasized that we do not live in a vacuum and that we are made up of a sum of parts. I am also trauma-informed, so I often connect symptoms like anxiety to underlying traumatic experiences. I have worked extensively with children through child play therapy, as well as with adults of all ages recovering from addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My communication style is open and transparent. Over the years, I have encountered a wide range of issues and concerns, so being able to speak freely about anything is important to me-especially if it matters to the client. My journey to mental healthcare began in high school when I realized I had a heart to help people. After college, I worked in a group home for teens recovering from substance abuse and knew this was a field I could truly be part of. I have never regretted it. I like to formulate goals with my clients and check in on them throughout treatment. My first session with you will be as a friendly, kind, and compassionate listener.
