Welcome to Wise Counselling

Priscilla Amaral is a clinical counsellor and professional art therapist who approaches her practice with the philosophy that every being is the expert of their own life and holds an innate capacity and wisdom for healing. 

Therapy is a journey where the counsellor is a fellow traveler, walking alongside you with genuine compassion, curiosity, and acceptance, creating a safe space for connection, expression, discovery, and healing.  

As someone who has personally experienced the value of therapy, Priscilla understands the importance of building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, authenticity, and safety. The work together will be trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and collaborative. Priscilla works with individuals and couples regarding relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction, sexuality, life transitions, boundaries & communication, grief and loss.  

Priscilla was born and raised in Brazil and immigrated to Canada in 2000. She took her master’s in counselling psychology and art therapy at Adler University. Priscilla is a mother, sister, friend, and avid learner. Spending quality time with those she loves, going on spontaneous adventures, taking care of her plant babies, baking, exploring art activities and non-ordinary states of consciousness bring her joy. She identifies as a Latina, cisgender, and immigrant woman who works lives and play at the unceded territory of xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səlílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. 

Priscilla is dedicated to continuous learning and unlearning at personal and professional levels so she can provide the best care possible to each of you. She is currently accepting clients and it would be her honor to connect with you!
