Meet our Telehealth Specialist

Priscilla Carlsgaard

Counselor: Spanish and English

Starting therapy can feel daunting. Will my therapist understand me? How can I trust this stranger with my most vulnerable thoughts and feelings? Will this really help my anxiety/relationship/thoughts/etc.? Is it worth it? First, you are not alone in these thoughts. Deciding to seek therapy and finding a therapist are big steps towards change that can be challenging. Second, I am here to walk alongside you through this process at your pace. I believe that every thought and behavior makes sense in context. Therefore, I collaborate with you to explore and understand your personal context so we can successfully facilitate change.

I have extensive training and experience working with individuals, couples, and families. Each person and relationship is unique so I use aspects of a few modalities in my work (Narrative, EFT, and SFBT). I specialize in couples’ issues, trauma, military members and families, anxiety, parenting, teenagers and young adults.

I am honored to be able to witness peoples’ journey towards change. I provide a non-judgmental space to freely talk and facilitate growth and healing. If you think we could be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do to do improve the quality of the connection?

If you live in an area with slow internet, this can really affect the speed of your connection. Here are some basic steps that can improve the overall quality:

Use wired Ethernet instead of wifi whenever possible. Wifi will work, but you may experience a lag and interference, which can make your video and audio choppy. If you experience a lag or interference while using Wifi, we recommend moving closer to your router. However, wired internet will give you a much smoother, more consistent experience.
Test your internet connection speed. Google provides an easy way to test your internet connection directly from the google homepage. Simply search: internet speed test. Click the blue button that says Run Speed Test. If it is under 10mbps and you’re using wifi, try using a wired internet connection or restarting your router.
Close other programs. If you have several programs running in the background, closing them will almost certainly improve the quality. Also, make sure you’re not downloading any large files.

If you are unable to connect, please contact us as soon as possible to see if we can help you troubleshoot.

What should I do if I didn’t get the reminder with the link?

Contact me if you did not get the link so I can send it to you via email or secure messaging.

What is SimplePractice?

SimplePractice, LLC is my practice management software for scheduling, case management, and Telehealth, and therapy notes. SimplePractice uses a HIPAA-compliant software so your information will be secure.

How should I prepare my space for a Telehealth appointment?

Identify a suitable room that is quiet, private, and free of distractions. To keep background noise to a minimum, close doors, shut windows, turn off the television, and keep loud pets in another room if possible. Consider hanging a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door to avoid interruptions.

Is Telehealth private?

Just like a face-to-face appointment, your Telehealth visit will be private and confidential.

Will the appointments be recorded?

None of our appointments will ever be recorded or stored.
