LGBTQIA friendly. My practice is centered around human issues. Positive relationships are challenging to build. Whether its parent/child, husband/wife, wife/wife, husband/husband or any other combination. My goal is to increase communication, understanding and knowledge between people in order to create positive and productive growth. We will focus on barriers and obstacles that may be keeping us from living our best lives, and work together on mapping out a plan for success. I have currently added substance abuse and anger management assessments to my practice. As our society becomes more accepting of alternative relationships, the need for added support has increased. I offer that space where individuals can feel comfortable in knowing they are accepted. I am a fully licensed counselor focusing on sexual issues. This ranges from communication to sexual dysfunction and a variety of topics in between. I have recently completed my ASSECT certification and am now a certified sex therapist. Giving a voice to individuals who may be afraid to be heard is empowering and fulfilling. No one should be afraid to be happy and for me, it is my passion to be uplifting to all. My practice is based on the West side of Atlanta, but I have various satellite options around the city.

Hello and Hola, I am a bilingual and bicultural psychotherapist licensed in Ga as a social worker with degrees from New York and California, and Argentina. I know South America's culture and some European countries like Spain, France, and Poland. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, body image problems, compulsive eating, binge eating disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, LGBTQIA challenges, and emotional abuse. We all have a body and a mind. Sometimes we hate our bodies, and our minds give us grief. We all need to learn to live in our bodies whether we like our looks or not. For some who are spiritual, the struggle breaks havoc in their spiritual lives as well. I will be honored to be a part of your journey to feel whole again. I believe in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in labeling people. My approach combines a psychodynamic understanding of your situation, teaching mindfulness, and showing you a cognitive-behavioral approach to the problem at hand. All of this with a humanistic approach. The parents, the adults, the young adults I have worked and work with deserve respect as an important element to feel whole. I also believe no one knows you better than yourself, and that is why you need to be in the driver's seat of your own treatment. You and I will tailor our dialogs and the treatment plan according to your mental time to meet your unique and specific needs. I look forward to working with you! iréné celcer MA, LCSW
