Fostering mental wellness through connection.

Get accessible and personalized mental healthcare from the comfort of your home.

Introductions

Hi, my name is Dr. Celia and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who opened this practice to help those who want to make a change in their lives. My team and I specialize in working with trauma across the lifespan, which is how we know how significantly our brains and bodies can shift after a difficult event and/or a series of difficult life circumstances. Therapy is a space for us to explore how our past informs who we are. Being able to form meaningful relationships is a key part of our mental wellness, but it isn’t always so easy to do. Learn more about which approach might be most beneficial to you through the Services provided.

Mission

Our passion is to help end cycles of trauma and revictimization. A major piece of this is reducing the stigma people associate with mental health and better understanding how our brains and bodies are affected by stress and trauma. Normalizing that we are affected by life events around us (even when they don’t happen to us directly) is a huge step in validating that emotions are there for a reason. If we acknowledge and honor that, we are free from being controlled by them.

Virtual Services

We offer all virtual services so you can get the support you want from any private, safe location within the state of Illinois.

Unsure how to make your space work for therapy? Contact us for a free consultation and we can discuss the best way to make telehealth work for you.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We believe that an essential part of therapy (and life) is being able to be exactly who you are. We want everyone to feel comfortable being themselves from the moment they say hello. Cultural humility is a huge passion of ours. Our experience with multiculturalism comes from personal experience and teaching seminars and classes to others hoping to expand their world view and self-understanding. That being said, we know that no one can be perfect in this, and we are open to learning and getting feedback from those we work with.
