For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

If you're hesitant to try therapy, I say "what do you have to lose by participating?" It can be scary to feel vulnerable in sessions, but it can also feel scary to not know how to manage anxiety or depression or how to communicate effectively. Therapists are trained to help you in a multitude of ways, including teaching you new skills, helping you process trauma or just providing a sounding board for you. Not every therapist is going to be a good fit for every client, don't be afraid to communicate what you need!

Hello! Welcome to my profile! I'm happy you're considering therapy and my hope is that this profile allows you a small snap shot of who I am as a therapist. I have over 9.5 years working in a community mental health clinic, focusing on mothers and women who have severe mental health issues and/or substance use. I'm passionate about being a helper and feel that everyone can benefit from therapy at any time.

You don’t have to be falling apart to start therapy. It’s not about being “broken”—it’s about being human and wanting things to feel a little less heavy. Therapy isn’t someone fixing you; it’s a space where you get to stop performing and start being honest—with yourself most of all. You set the pace. You keep control. My job is simply to help you untangle what’s been weighing on you and find steadier ground. If you’ve been thinking about it but holding back, that hesitation already tells me you care about doing the work right—and that’s a pretty good place to begin.

As a licensed therapist, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. My practice centers on helping clients navigate complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, grief, and mood disorders. I offer a deeply empathetic approach to addressing personal challenges such as social anxiety, isolation, workplace stress, and life transitions. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to cultivate self-love, develop resilient coping strategies, and heal from traumatic experiences. My professional background includes extensive work supporting women's mental health, caregivers, and individuals confronting significant life changes—from divorce and midlife transitions to serious health diagnoses. I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, build inner strength, and develop meaningful pathways toward personal growth and emotional wellness.

I want them to know that being in therapy can be personally challenging, but so rewarding. There is no stronger relationship that will support you working in the best interest of you than the one you have with your therapist.

Hi! I am thankful you have made it this far onto your path to healing. I have provided therapy for a total of six years now, and have been in private practice for three of those six years. I have enjoy time with my dogs, learning new skills, and relaxing at home.

To honor your gut and intuition that leads to you consider counseling even if it’s just a thought.  Your way of being has brought you far but your gut is telling you want more in life and desire change.  The important part is just to start and try. 

Are you ready to make a change in your life? It takes courage to ask for help, but the rewards of doing so can lead to a better future. In working together, we will cultivate growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that can help you gain control of your life and achieve your goals. I will support you to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life, one step at a time. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and I am ready to listen when you're ready. The best way to reach me is via email. I look forward to hearing from you.

I get it. It can be hard to open up, especially to a stranger. It can feel overwhelming at first, but here’s the thing. It feels so nice to know you have a safe space to let out all the thoughts and feelings that you were told to stuff down. You will find relief in expressing any emotion, even anger, with a person who will not judge you. It might take a couple sessions to get there, but once you let down that wall that you were taught to build, you’ll be surprised as to what will flood out. Let’s chat and learn more about how I can help you in your journey!

Maybe you’ve seen the value of caring for your mental health or maybe this is your first big step into therapy. Either way, welcome! You made it! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate located here in the great state of Texas, offering both telehealth and in person appointments at my Cedar Park location.   I utilize a solution-focused, compassionate approach to help clients learn to combat that inner critic that tells us "we aren't good enough." Therapy doesn’t have to be a stiff interaction, therefore I believe sprinkling in some humor helps to build our relationship.  I strive to reply back to potential clients within 24-48 hours. I also offer a brief 10 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for therapy. Check out my website or send me an email so we can connect today!

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is one of, if not the most important factor in feeling better. Research has shown that the relationship between the therapist and patient is one of the biggest factors in determining if someone will improve with therapy. The only obvious exception to this is if you work with someone who is not qualified to work in the area you would like to work on. For example, I do not have the training to treat eating disorders so if this is your primary concern, I know I am not a good fit. Otherwise, the decision is up to you. When you are ready to make a change, or want help getting ready, therapy can lead to long-term life benefits.

Hi, my name is Dr. Celia and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who opened my practice to help those who want to make a change in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma across the lifespan, which is how I know how significantly our brains and bodies can shift after a difficult event and/or a series of difficult life circumstances. Therapy is a space for us to explore how our past informs who we are. Being able to form meaningful relationships is a key part of our mental wellness, but it isn’t always so easy to do. Reach out for a consultation if you would like help making a change.

Safe and objective connection aligned with your goals is a powerful influence in the potential for healing. We can do little alone successfully when it comes to processing our history. To be invited into your own story with new eyes, is an incredible opportunity that I hope every person experiences at least once in their lives

Trauma focused Counselor with focuses on lifespan processing, art therapy and identity development & exploration. Serving adults 18 hrs and older.  

Many people feel unsure at first. Therapy isn’t about having something 'wrong' with you. It’s about having a space that’s just for you—to talk, reflect, and work through life’s challenges with support and without judgment. You don’t need to be in crisis to start. You just need to be open to the idea that things can get better. And they can. You deserve that chance."

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the complexities of life and wonder where to turn for guidance? I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach is rooted in the belief that every individual is unique, and healing is a collaborative journey tailored to your specific needs. I work with clients of all ages, helping you navigate challenges and build the life you envision. In our sessions, uncover the patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You’ll learn how your past influences the present and to embrace change. Whether you are dealing with mental health issues, cultural differences, challenges with motherhood, or conflicts within your family, I provide practical tools and empathetic support to strengthen connections and foster mutual understanding. Overall, my holistic and integrative approach transforms challenges into opportunities for personal growth. With each session, we cultivate a comprehensive understanding of your personal narrative, enabling you to unlock your potential and live a more authentic life. I am committed to provide guidance as you transform challenges into growth and fulfillment. We will work together to gain insight, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence and empowerment.

Sometimes we need a neutral and unbiased person to motive us when we are unable to motivate ourselves. My approach involves creating an integrative and individualized plan to fit each client’s therapeutic needs.
