Hello, my name is Cecilia and I am a bilingual trauma-informed(Spanish & English) clinical therapist with close to a decade of clinical experience. I work with adolescents (12 years of age and up) & adults who find themselves struggling with self esteem, disordered eating, ADHD, mood and/or anxiety concerns, as well as individuals going through life changes & transitions- such as college, family related, career shifts, & such. I have a strengths & values driven therapeutic approach to empower clients to build and sustain a meaningful and authentic life. My goal is to help you build real and lasting change.
It is my pleasure to guide you in creating long term change and regaining control one step at a time by getting to the root of your challenges. I utilize various evidenced-based modalities- including CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP & EFFT.
Creating an environment where you feel seen and understood is my priority. Let's work together to get you living a more fulfilling & authentic life.
