Cecelia “Cece” fell in love with helping people when she was 15 years old. Her dad would take her to St. Vincent de Paul almost every weekend and there she found a deep-rooted passion for listening and helping people. She continued to pursue her passion by obtaining her Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Missouri along with a certificate for Multicultural Studies before attending Arizona State University where she received her Master’s in Direct Practice Social Work.

 

Cecelia has worked with a multitude of demographics throughout her career. She has experience helping adolescents and adults navigating emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, interpersonal or family conflict, and more. She also has experience working with individuals and families navigating medical concerns, procedures, and trauma through her prior work in the hospital setting.

 

Cecelia is trained in evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and utilizes a variety of counseling skills to help her clients reach their determined goals. She understands the importance of having support throughout life’s challenges and provides a warm environment for her clients to share, process, heal, and grow.

 

She knows therapy is not something easy, but it helps to have someone to lean on. Cecelia is ready to meet you where you are at and help you find what you are looking for.

 

She provides services out of the Gilbert office, which is close to Queen Creek, Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler.
