About Priscilla Elliott
Priscilla Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and serving the mental health field since 2006. After years of working in the corporate world, Priscilla moved to Austin from New York City for the pet friendly atmosphere, culture, and green belts. As a practicing counselor, Priscilla makes an active effort to remain current on the research and methods that guide best treatment practices.
Priscilla values connection, well-being, scientific knowledge, tailoring evidence based practices to the individual, and involving patients in their own healthcare decisions.
The trust that grows in a therapeutic relationship has an empowering effect, leading people to take courageous steps into the life that you design, well beyond the circumstances you have survived. She is passionate about her work and love to “geek out” about neuroscience and understanding how we got here and why we do what we do. Priscilla uses the latest research from neurobiology and makes it accessible for your needs. She tailors therapy to suit your unique circumstances and strengths. Priscilla will work with you on a greater understanding of your life experiences. She can help you to deal with issues that once may have interfered with living fully and find realistic ways to improve your life and reach your goals.
