Good therapy can move you from the discomfort you’re experiencing toward the feeling of centeredness or healing you’re seeking. I would like to work myself out of a job! I don’t like Band-Aids and shallow solutions; these amount to lazy counseling.    I believe good counseling combines process and content—your current situation needs something new introduced, something change making. Holding space for, processing, and honoring the pain you are experiencing is mission critical, just as stepping outside your life and working on it is essential. Integrating new understanding and language with change-making tools and skills helps bring different outcomes. I am here as a companion to coach and guide with psychological, spiritual, and relational resources as you journey toward your personal healing and goals. Mandi is a psychotherapist, writer, soul-caretaker, yoga teacher, and momma of teens. She is grateful for the constant love and presence of the Lord.

Relationships are not easy. Whether it’s trying to begin, continue, or end a relationship with an individual or multiple people, the process is challenging. Sometimes the relationship is worthy of celebrating. Sometimes it is one to nurture. But sometimes there are relationships that you are faced with ending, by your choice or necessity. Regardless of the scenario, relationships are an integral part of our existence. Whether it’s a relationship with Jesus Christ or another individual, it needs the opportunity to grow and develop through time, attention, and communication. Some people experience Christ in their lives in a definitive manner. Others are searching for this type of experience. Still others have opted to bypass a relationship with Christ for one of their own choosing. Wherever you are, if you are stuck and want to move forward beyond present concerns, lingering problems, or an unhealthy past, Priscilla is here to partner with you in helping you find resolution. She is warm, nurturing, empathetic, and actively in pursuit of drawing close in her relationship with Jesus Christ. Call, email, or text, and she will be glad to meet with you to see if it is a good fit.

Your mind races with thoughts that begin with What if? Your anxiety gets in the way of your relationships, steals your joy, and limits your potential for happiness at home and at work. Worrying about things you cannot control has become a habit, which is hard to break because you believe that the worry prevents the thing from happening. You worry about your relationships, your family, your kids, and your work. Worry turns to guilt about not doing enough and not being enough. You long to quiet the inner critic, let go of the anxiety, feel like you are enough, and live a more fully engaged and balanced life. Through our collaborative efforts, you will learn the skills you need to conquer your worries and unwanted negative, anxious thoughts, communicate your needs effectively, and overcome feelings of guilt and self-doubt. We will work together to help you enjoy your life and relationships again, live fully in the present, and look forward to your future. As a licensed psychologist for over 15 years, I utilize research-supported interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using a positive psychology approach, we will identify your strengths and uncover ones you may not even recognize. When nurtured and channeled in the best way, these strengths will help you cope with the past, conquer current fears, and overcome future obstacles on your path. My job is to give you the tools you need to be your own therapist. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered a best practice in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
