Getting to know Priscilla Amezquita
Greetings and congrats on taking steps toward cultivating a better you! My name is Priscilla Amezquita, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California and over a decade of clinical experience treating children, adults, and their families. It has been a privilege to help individuals heal psychological wounds from painful life transitions and experiences, and a joy to witness my clients' growth toward a better version of themselves.
My approach
As a first-generation Mexican American, I bring awareness of culture and how it influences identity, relationships, and coping with life stressors. Since you are the expert of your lived experience, consider me a compassionate detective gathering facts to conceptualize your unique history. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, employing elements from different frameworks to tailor treatment to your intersectional background, mental health needs, and goals. Together, we will examine your history, identify maladaptive behavioral or cognitive patterns that no longer serve your growth, and create a treatment plan to help you move from survival mode to thriving.
My focus
My clinical background primarily involves treating youth and adults with anxiety, stress, and depressive disorders, as well as adolescents and adults with a history of sexual trauma in outpatient and community settings.
My communication style
My style is warm, humorous, and encouraging, but I can also be direct if preferred. As a therapist, I'm compassionate and empathetic, providing a safe space to hold your distressing thoughts and feelings without judgment and encouraging vulnerable moments for self-reflection and emotional expression.
