My Approach to Helping

Welcome to My Practice!

I'm Priscilla Torres, a licensed psychotherapist and Clinical Sexology PhD Candidate. I am committed to providing personalized and confidential therapy for individuals and couples seeking personal growth and healing.

Taking the courageous step to seek therapy is a testament to your commitment to emotional well-being. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and am dedicated to tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs. I only use evidence-based therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Your privacy is paramount in my practice. I provide a discreet environment to discuss your challenges, ensuring that all communications and sessions remain confidential. Because I do not bill insurance, I am not required to input our session notes into a client management system, so you can be assured our sessions will be confidential.

Areas of Specialization:
Anxiety and Mood Disorders: As a Certified Mood Disorder Professional (CMDP), I specialize in treating mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and hypomania. Together, we will empower you with effective coping strategies and emotional regulation techniques to foster long-term emotional resilience.

Trauma Recovery: I offer EMDR therapy for those who have experienced trauma or distressing events. This evidence-based approach helps reprocess traumatic memories, enabling you to integrate past experiences and reduce emotional pain.

EMDR Intensives: For individuals seeking deeper healing, I provide EMDR intensives—focused sessions designed to facilitate rapid progress in resolving trauma-related symptoms, such as anxiety and depression.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS therapy allows you to explore and harmonize the different parts of yourself, fostering greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and emotional stability.

Sexual Wellness Therapy: My expertise in clinical sexology enables me to address a range of sexual concerns, including erectile dysfunction, low libido, sexual anxiety, and intimacy-related conflicts. I create a safe and respectful environment for both individuals and couples to enhance their sexual health.

Support for High-Pressure Professionals: With nearly 20 years in the high-pressure corporate world, I understand the unique challenges faced by executives and professionals. I offer tailored strategies to manage work-related stress, prevent burnout, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Why choose me? I recognize that healing doesn’t stop between sessions. I offer secure messaging and scheduled check-ins to enhance your support, providing continuous access to guidance and resources throughout your therapeutic journey.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward personal growth and healing, reach out today. Together, we can start your transformative journey in a supportive and confidential environment. I am looking forward to meeting you.

More Info About My Practice

EMDR INTENSIVES:
During an EMDR intensive, individuals engage in concentrated 3-hour sessions of EMDR therapy over a shorter period, typically ranging from several consecutive days to a week or more. The intensity of the treatment allows individuals to delve deeper into their traumatic experiences and work through them in a more focused and efficient manner.

The goal of an EMDR intensive is to facilitate healing and resolution of traumatic experiences and their related symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. Individuals may experience more rapid progress and significant improvements in their overall well-being by engaging in concentrated sessions within a short period.

    Specific Concerns and Populations I Work With:

    Anxiety and Depression Therapy - If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or a combination of both, I’m here to help. As a Certified Mood Disorder Professional (CMDP), I specialize in treating mood disorders, including anxiety disorders, major depression, bipolar disorder, and hypomania. My clients are empowered with effective coping strategies and emotional regulation techniques to foster long-term emotional well-being.

    Trauma Recovery - For individuals who have experienced trauma or disturbing events that have altered their sense of self and safety, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This evidence-based approach helps clients process traumatic experiences and reprocess traumatic memories, enabling emotional integration and healing. Together, we identify negative beliefs keeping you from healing and work to replace them with adaptive beliefs.

    Self-Discovery and Emotional Regulation - If you're looking to better understand yourself and manage your responses in stressful situations, my practice includes Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This transformative approach encourages exploration of the various "parts" of yourself, fostering greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-leadership – ultimately leading to improved emotional health and stability.

    Couples Therapy for Relationship Enhancement - For couples seeking to enhance their relationships or recover from infidelity, I employ the Gottman Method for couples therapy. This research-based model focuses on improving emotional connection, communication, and conflict resolution. Together, we work to foster intimacy and create a shared vision for your relationship.

    Sexual Wellness Therapy - My expertise in clinical sexology allows me to address a wide range of sexual health concerns, including erectile dysfunction, low libido, sexual anxiety, and intimacy-related relationship conflicts.
