Ceila Aguilar

Hi there, I'm Ceila!

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist born in Mexico and raised in California. I view therapy as a space to explore thoughts and emotions without judgment. I recognize culture's influence on mental health and work with clients to explore how cultural roots impact their thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

My focus

In my clinical practice, I place importance on empowering clients to find their strength to face life's challenges. I address a variety of mental health concerns, including depression, generalized anxiety, unhealthy relationships, including interpersonal violence, self-esteem, incidents of trauma, life transitions, and managing stress.

My approach

I recognize everyone has unique experiences and needs. I use various techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing.
