Welcome! With a warm, open, and interactive style, I aim to work collaboratively with you to help you examine what is getting in the way of your well being, learn new ways to approach your challenges and concerns, and move your life in a direction that is reflective of what matters to you most. I offer both brief and long term psychotherapy. I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

I am licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience in counseling with adult individuals. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, work stress and cultural diversity issues. I also have a specialty interest in women’s issues including prenatal and postpartum mood disorders, fertility issues and traumatic losses.

I'm glad you're here! I am an OCD, ADHD and Anxiety Disorders specialist with Kids, Teens & Adults which means that for 20 years, I've provided THE gold-standard, science-based form of treatment known as Inference-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - these methods lead to remarkable well-being! Parents also enjoy my parent consultation expertise. I've found for most folks, virtual therapy is even better than in person therapy for addressing the issues from the comfort of home (and decades of research backs that up).

I aspire to create a safe, structured and warm therapeutic environment to facilitate the patient's personal growth while helping patients develop more insight, explore the history of their problems, and recognize unhealthy patterns. My therapeutic process has developed over 25 years of practice and training. Some of the areas of psychology from which I draw are psychodynamic, attachment theory, object relations and family systems. My goal is that through therapy, my patients feel understood, supported and comfortably challenged. During our first meeting we explore together what brought you to therapy..what is occuring in your life that is causing difficulties, and where perhaps you may be hindering yourself. For the most part therapy is a guided process where you learn more deeply about yourself and develop better coping skills with an improved capacity to handle emotional difficulties in a healthy, fulfilling manner.

You right now: Using all your power to muster up the courage to finally go on that date; replaying unnecessary thoughts to excuse yourself from the invite from your friends; blaming yourself for not thinking you are not enough. You after therapy with me: Completely understanding of your worth; Acknowledge your anxiety and befriend it; Find perspective to help empower yourself in your day to day. Can you imagine it? If you can, that’s because that is a genuine reality. As a social anxiety therapist, my aim is to help you understand the root of your intrusive thoughts and find meaningful but realistic ways to address them so that you

You may have found yourself feeling different or off. These feelings may include being worried, anxious, uneasy or sad, unmotivated, hopeless. These issues may be impacting your overall mood, relationships, or other aspects of your life socially and/or professionally. You've made it to this page because you're in a place where you want to take action and make a change but want support along the way. My role is to use my years of experience to help you achieve your personal goals. Goals that make sense for your lifestyle and to offer coping skills that you can use within and in between sessions.

As we live our lives, all of us face challenging curves in the road from time to time. Whether it be anxiety or depression, relational difficulties, troublesome patterns at work or school, or turbulence along a personal or spiritual path, we can all benefit from support navigating these consequential turns. Dissatisfaction or suffering on any scale can serve both as a signal and motivation towards greater understanding, integration, and alignment with ourselves, significant others, and our deepest values. Whether it’s anywhere from a modest course-correction to inner transformation you're seeking, let's explore the path together.

I am an experienced psychotherapist who gets how hard life and therapy can be. I take an honest, empathetic, humorous and direct approach to our work and value the relationship we’ll make. Life is just one relationship after another, whether it be with your partner, your boss, or your phone and each has a positive and negative effect. My job is to help you untangle and understand those relationships to help you feel more connected, happy and maybe get that promotion.

It is my passion to help people lead fulfilling lives and cultivate nourishing relationships. Through mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and somatic interventions, I empower adults, children & teens with tools to navigate their lives and nourish their relationships. I offer couples counseling, parenting support and therapy for children & teens who are struggling with worry, stress, anxiety, defiance, depression and overwhelm. I also offer support for loss & major life transitions. It is a sincere honor to work with my clients, and I hope I get the opportunity to work with you!

I believe our thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that sometimes cause stress happen for understandable reasons. My goal is to help clients gain a deeper insight into their current stress and suffering, be more connected to themselves and others, and grow and heal.

Most of us want to solve our own problems, but at times getting help is the wisest move, speeding progress and often bringing desired changes we didn't realize were possible. I help you connect with your inner wisdom and resolve problems while adding skills that bring resilience and strength. My approach is compassionate, non-judging, supportive, and tailored to your uniqueness. Therapy helps with most life challenges because it's really about personal growth: getting better at handling what life brings, and helping the wise, powerful, authentic you come to the forefront, take charge, find meaning, and engage fully.

Are you struggling with ongoing worry, stress, or anxiety? Maybe you just can’t shake that inner critical voice or feelings of sadness and hopelessness, no matter how hard you try. Or maybe your relationship with food feels out of whack and chaotic – a cycle of dieting, binge eating or emotional/stress overeating, or a list of food rules that you feel you need to follow in order to ‘eat right’. But you are left feeling guilty, deprived, irritable, and unhappy in your body.

I enjoy helping people discover solutions that work for them. This means that we'll work together to discover your strengths and use this information as a guide for crafting new, effective strategies that create positive changes. We each have important roles to play: You bring the expertise on yourself, and I bring my therapeutic training and professional experience. Together, we’ll work toward reaching your goals.

Have you ever felt like someone could help you lift up your life? Therapy is a shared process with you and me together to discuss your uncomfortable issues. I offer warmth and compassion to enhance your ability to make your own choices and take actions that are effective toward your goals. My approach is evidence-based and client-centered, and it is influenced by mindfulness, multicultural perspectives, and family systems. I carefully draw from the insights and techniques from psychological theories that I believe can effect change.

Are you struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), intrusive thoughts, anxiety, frequent worry, or panic attacks? I understand how overwhelming and disruptive these challenges can be. Do you avoid important activities because of these issues? Are compulsions taking over your life? OCD and anxiety may make it difficult to enjoy life, engage in relationships, pursue goals, and live the life you want. Despite these difficulties, positive change is possible. In the context of a caring and supportive relationship, we can collaboratively explore and implement effective tools to combat these problems.

I provide individual therapy to adults. I offer a collaborative, direct and non-judgmental approach empowering you to use your strengths, expertise and abilities to find meaning and purpose during life's toughest transitions. Through the dynamic relationship of therapy, I can help you uncover frustrating patterns and behaviors, build insight and awareness to develop and sustain healthier relationships, and move towards healing. Taking the next step to talk with someone is vulnerable, but often life altering and healing in itself.

Life sometimes presents us with challenges, and therapy is an opportunity to evaluate what is working, what needs change, and how to redirect our energy . As a licensed therapist, I am here to support you through our therapeutic relationship. I provide a safe, non judgmental and unconditional environment to explore. Together, we gain insight into troubling issues on cognitive, emotional and experiential levels. I can partner with you helping you move from contemplation to action. I can collaborate with you individually, as a couple, as parents, or as a family. View more at my site celytherapy.com

Guided by supportive-expressive interventions; together, we'll examine the ways in which you suffer and create from this experience a more compassionate and psychologically healthier model of living.

I am a cognitive behavioral psychologist and as such I utilize a goal oriented focus in working with problems that you may be experiencing. I also believe that understanding the meaning of experiences are essential to working through them. I have worked both with children and adults in my practice and have done a great deal of work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.
