Hi there, I'm Celia!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated with a master's degree in 2019 at Cal State Los Angeles. I started working with mental ill population since 2014. I have experience assisting clients with unhealthy relationships, gaining self-esteem, and overcoming trauma. I psycho-educate clients about symptoms and assertive communication.

My focus

I provide clients with an empathic environment so they can feel safe to build rapport. I provide understanding to make them feel comfortable and accepted.

My approach

I like to explore in detail clients' statements and challenge their pattern of thinking. I love assisting client in processing their traumas by using EMDR and gaining their confidence back.
