Celia Agras, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Celia!

I help people navigate transitions, strengthen their relationship with themselves, and build lives that feel more intentional and fulfilling. I believe growth begins with understanding ourselves more fully.

My focus

I help adult children of immigrants process complex systems, navigate acculturation, and intergenerational trauma.

My approach

I use a combination of different approaches/modalities to meet my Client's needs. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Somatic Therapy within my practice.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, direct communication in a non-judgmental environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy started with seeing the disparity of mental health services provided to under privileged groups. I worked first hand in beginning to fill-in those gaps and hope to continue exploring different groups throughout my therapy journey.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative relationship where we will set goals that matter to you. As we continue to work together meeting goals or gaining insights we can adjust as necessary.

Our first session

Our first session will mostly consist of getting to know each other to see how I can best support you on your healing journey. We can move at your pace and talk about any thoughts or feelings that arise throughout treatment.
