Cecilia is wonderful. She's kind and easy to talk to, guides the session without pushing, and is great about helping me stay on track between sessions.
We've been doing EMDR and it's been very enlightening. I'm getting to know myself and empowering myself on an entirely new level- unencumbered by limiting self beliefs.
This is not my first experience with therapy, but it's by far my BEST experience.
Cecilia rocks.

I've had a few sessions with Cecilia and each has been very helpful. Therapy is new to me - and she guided us through how we can work together. She made the zoom format seem like we were together and I look forward to continuing working with her.

I have done weekly therapy sessions with Cecilia for months and can say with confidence that she has been committed to helping and kindly learning about me every time. It’s because of Cecilia that I feel like I have healed mentally, more than I could have imagined and for that I’m grateful. Cecilia will patiently follow up even if you are unresponsive and will give you the time you need to adapt to therapy, which can be overwhelming for many people.
Thank you Cecilia for supporting me in this journey and teaching me various coping techniques. You have been an incredible and genuine support system!

Cecilia is hands down the best therapist I have had the pleasure to work with. She immediately made me feel comfortable letting out built-up emotions and taught me techniques to deal with them. She worked quickly, efficiently, professionally, and thoroughly, ensuring I was comfortable and ready for the next steps. Through her help, I have dealt with past trauma that was only compounding and getting worse as time passed. The work we have done has been life-changing for me. She knew when to check in on me to ensure I was ok and always responded quickly with advice. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I have been working with Cecilia for around 3 months, I can't describe how great it has been. She's very friendly, supportive, and a great listener. She really knows what to adress and what to ask to get you to open up and knows how to help you better understand yourself to improve. She has used different methods in our sessions and they were all effective . Even though we are from very different cultures, she's very respectful and understanding of mine and she doesn't give advice that doesn't go with my believes. Our sessions has been very effective and she continuously sends useful worksheets targeting the concerns we discussed in the session. I sincerely believe Cecilia helped me become a better person and I couldn't ask for a better therapist!

Amazing therapist for me. She communicates very well with me and respects my feelings and ways of thinking. She is very stern about her thoughts and beliefs and keeps me on track with myself, which is what I appreciate about her most.
