Cecilia Oaks, LPC-MHSP
About me
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) with a total of 14 years in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting problems, ADHD, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and self-esteem. I also have worked with trauma clients the entirety of my career. In the first five years after college, I worked as a case manager. The last 9 years I have worked as a therapist since completing graduate school.
My therapy style is relaxed, nonjudgmental, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone equally with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not use labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, psychodynamic, and EMDR. I tailor the language used and the treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
