Priscilla Rioja, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Priscilla!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people learn skills to get them where they would like to be. I focus on people who struggle with anxiety, stress, life changes, grief, and child/parent relations.

My focus

I focus on clients ranging from ages 5 and above. I am most comfortable treating clients who are children, adolescents, and young adults.

My approach

The therapeutic approaches I utilize include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

My communication style

I am a very calm individual who uses a soft and loving approach. I will make you feel heard, give you the space to vent, and offer feedback to get you where you would like to be.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love to help others, and I love the simple idea that thoughts are powerful. When I realized that I could connect both of these ideas all in one, that is why I studied psychology in college. When I see clients learning and changing out of their habits, that is the main drive to continue helping others be the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

I like to create client-centered goals that are achievable and capable for my clients.

Our first session

During the first session, please expect an open conversation where I get to know you and understand what you are looking for in therapy.
