Therapy is simply working with a neutral person within a safe environment so that you can create the solutions you seek. You are the expert on yourself, a good therapist simply helps you sort through things in order for you to push past the emotional roadblocks that have prevented you from experiencing life authentically.

I'd be happy to help. 

Its very normal to have hesitancy about starting therapy. There are still a lot of myths about therapy, and it can take time to find the right therapist. Ask questions to find out what a potential therapist's style is, what a first session is like, and their approach to therapy. You are in control, and have the right to end therapy at any time. It is also important to share this hesitancy with your therapist, so they can help you explore any lingering concerns. The therapist who is right for you will welcome your questions and concerns.

LGBTQ+ clients are welcome! It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy, but once you have made the decision; you have begun the process of change.

For those who are hesitant to try therapy, I would encourage you to consider how it can empower you to engage in introspection, appreciate the beauty of life's complexity, transition from survival mode to thriving intentionally, process identity, future, and past questions, and invest in yourself as you do in others.

It's normal to feel anxious or hesitant. We come to therapy to share and explore things that are causing us distress. It isn't easy to reach out or to start counseling, and it often triggers feelings that can be overwhelming or make us feel vulnerable. But it's often the firs step in healing. One thing to remember is that you're in control. While the issues that bring you to therapy may be very difficult to discuss, our conversations should leave you feeling respected and be comfortable enough for you to be yourself. It's important to tackle things at a speed and direction that feels right for you and you have the right to wait until you're ready to bring up different topics. It often helps to know what to expect. Our first session will include a little more information on the counseling process, making sure to address any questions you might have. This is also a time to discuss your goals for therapy, look at ways we might work together to reach those goals, and make to sure you feel comfortable and that we are a good fit to work together.

Now scheduling in person and telehealth sessions. Help is available for symptoms of anxiety and depression, working through past trauma, managing perfectionism, improving communication with others, relationship concerns, navigating workplace dynamics and more. We specialize in complex trauma/CPTSD.

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.

I wish I could tell them that interpersonal trauma heals in a caring relationship. My only regret is not having started therapy earlier in my life. 

I speak English and Spanish. I work with children, teenagers, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. My focus is to help individuals heal and become aware of their inner strengths and resilience. I provide a safe space, listen to your concerns, and customize a treatment plan using several modalities that activate and integrate the whole brain. To best heal from challenging situations, you need to be connected to others. While working with parents and families, I focus on increasing attachment and connection so that you can be the parent you want.
