Priscilla Cerdas is a first generation Latina American of Costa Rican descent. It has always been important for Priscilla to bring the “Pura Vida” lifestyle to her practice as a therapist. Priscilla is bilingual in English and Spanish and uses her skills to support increasing access to mental health care for the Latinx community.
Priscilla became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in 2021, and a Board-Certified Dance/movement therapist in 2020. She graduated from Lesley University in 2017 and currently works at Lesley as an adjunct professor for the expressive therapies graduate program. Her past clinical work includes outpatient, school-based, and residential care for children, adolescents, and young adults. She recently launched her private practice: Clinica Artesana LLC. Her practice’s name is an homage to her ancestry of Latinx artists. Other specific populations Priscilla has worked with include visual and performing artists, the LGBT2QIA+ community, and clients with chronic illnesses.
Priscilla typically works from a bottom-up approach, encouraging clients to explore a past, present and future narrative through the mind-body connection in effort of building an authentic relationship with themselves. She has experience in individual, group, and family therapy. Priscilla looks at the whole client, including their interpersonal neurobiology. Through the lens of dance/movement therapy, clients can begin to explore nonverbal methods of self-care and holistic paths toward healing.
