About Me
My name is Cecilia. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been in practice for 10 years. I have been a therapist for 11 years and have worked with a variety of populations in many different settings. I currently work in private practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist and registered art therapist. I welcome all genders, ages, sexual orientations, and religions.
I am truly passionate about helping people to feel independent and healthy once more. I believe that no man is an island, everyone is part of something bigger and everyone needs support at one moment or another in their lives. I appreciate the opportunity to be that support for you and! As your therapist I will tailor-make a therapeutic plan collaboratively with you, discussing your therapeutic goals at the beginning of treatment and working with you towards reaching those goals. I believe it can be helpful to allow people to have a safe space with a trained professional, someone who is outside of their family and friends to give objective and non-biased feedback.
I look forward to working with you and your family to be the healthiest version of yourselves.

Reviews
Cecilia is a very kind and caring person.
Ceclia is a great listener and doesn't follow up excessively if she knows I'm busy. She doesn't mind repeating the same information and always makes sure I get the most out of this as I can. She has a great memory for what I've shared, even going back a few years.
Cecilia is very understanding and helpful. She has provided me with the support I needed through some difficult times and helped me to establish better habits and beneficial coping mechanisms.
I think she very nice. She very caring about her clients. She is amazing at what she does every single time with our visits.
Cecilia is truly one in a million. I've tried counseling before but almost gave up on it since I never felt like anyone really understood where I was coming from or how to help. Getting matched with Cecilia was life changing and I felt like we clicked instantly. No matter what I'm going through I always feel like I can turn to her, and it is evident that she is passionate about what she is doing. The world could use more inspiring and genuine people like Cecilia! I would recommend her to anyone!
Cecilia was a perfect match - she is very compassionate and gave me lots of helpful tips. It was good for me to share my thoughts and feelings and not being judged. I learned a lot from her and appreciated her giving me book tips for further reading.
I ‘m incredibly grateful for the experience of working with Cecilia. When I began our sessions together, I was so caught up in my problems that I couldn’t see how things could get better, but throughout our sessions she has consistently (yet patiently) held me to examining my own thoughts and feelings. She has provided empathy and understanding, yet has challenged me when I was in my darkest places and has not allowed me to sink. There is still work to do, but I feel things getting better for the first time in a long time, and that means so much to me!
Within the short amount of time I have been working with Cecilia, I have been able to conquer huge obstacles in life and return to a level of normalcy. I still have a long ways to go but I am confident that I will be able to do it will Cecilia as me guide.
I haven’t worked with Cecelia for very long, but I’ve found her to be compassionate, understanding, and very, very patient. I’ve relocated to a different state and I’m really hoping I get to stay with Cecelia after the moving transition.
Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a gentle, insightful, friendly counselor. Thank you so much, Cecelia!!
Cecilia was my second counselor with BetterHelp.com and I am unspeakably grateful that I found her. She was the help that I'd been praying for. Her work is set in reason and practicality and full of compassion and empathy. I have never felt more comfortable or able to be so honest with a professional. My quality of life and health improved exponentially because of time spent under her care.
Very good counselor. Open, caring and helpful. Timely responses. She gives you a lot of options on how to think of things (deal with life situations). Especially helpful with family issues. I would see her again!
After seeing therapist for over 15 years, she is by far the most helpful and insightful person and resource. I am gaining invaluable tools which I will be able to use throughout my life. I could not be more grateful.
Cecilia has helped me feel better when I am down. Helped me look at things in different perspectives. Given me encouragement which helped me deal with things in my life. Sometimes I find that I'm in a situation that would usually cause me anguish but then I would remember her words and felt I'm not alone and that I could use the tools she's given me to handle the situation. Then I find myself not feeling so bad. Thanks Cecilia!
Cecilia is wonderful! She always understood where I was coming from and her insight really helped me to see things from a different perspective.
Ending my sessions with Cecilia was bittersweet. I ended them for the moment because she did exactly what I needed her to do for me - to put be in a better place with respect to my relationships with other people and particularly myself.
One of the most important things she taught me was to learn how to view expectations differently and, in particular, to understand how detrimental they can be to one's well-being. She taught be to approach life with a curiosity that allows one to be pleasantly surprised as opposed to being upset when outcomes aren't as we expect. For this lesson and many others, I will always appreciate Cecilia.
I have been working with Cecilia for around two months now, and I really feel that my sessions with her have changed my life. I now feel I have the tools I need to improve my relationships, to work towards my professional goals with confidence, and to role model positive behaviours for my daughter. I can’t thank Cecilia enough for her guidance, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking.for counselling services.
Cecilia is terrific, has some great insight, and offers a friendly approach, leaving me feeling comfortable to chat about anything on my mind. Plus she always takes time to regularly check up on you and your progress :)
Cecilia Kosak is a wonderful counselor. She has helped me grow and look at life from a different prospective. She helped me understand myself better. She provided me with good guidance. She's understanding and open minded. I highly recommend her.
Cecilia is amazing! She's not only your therapist, she's your friend too! Never felt like she judged me and she would always explain what I felt and because of that I never felt weird or different from people! She gives you hope and trusts you and believes in you more than you can imagine!
Thank you for everything you helped me with, I'm a better person because of you!
Cecilia has helped me so much. I was nervous at first but she was so supportive and welcoming. She listens with no judgment and then gives advice and techniques, specific to you.
Cecilia has been so helpful. She is non judgemental and supportive. I feel ready to move forward after a difficult time in my life because she has helped me cultivate some self love and take a different perspective.
Cecilia has been really great and very helpful. She's full of insights and suggests things to do without making them look as a homework. She follows up with me whenever I get busy and stop replying. She's there when I need her, but she gives me the space I need when I don't feel like talking.
I had a great experience with Cecilia. She was kind and took the time to listen to what I needed each time we chatted. I was able to direct the conversations to where I felt I needed to go/was comfortable going. Ultimately I gained some great tools to be able to support myself , while also having a safe place to explore my thoughts out loud. Cecilia was at every turn was free of judgement and made me feel comfortable to discuss any topic that came up.
Cecilia has a great style and is very attentive to her clients. No matter how much I wrote down, she was always there to read through and help sort my thoughts - and prompt on top of it all. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a friendly voice to discuss personal relationships!
She seems to know which questions to ask and just the right things to say in response. Really is helping me justify my feelings.
Cecilia has been just wonderful in helping me through a difficult patch (of returning anxiety issues). It's been really great to have a service where I can just flick off an email to empty my head, and get some thought provoking feedback or advice. I find it really wonderful to be able to open up and tell someone everything without fear of being judged
She seems very nice. I am glad that she is here for me. Thank you very much for all you do.
With Cecilia's help, I feel like I'm handling my stress so much better than I used to! It's been a pleasure working with her so far, and I look forward to seeing myself improve more over time.
Cecilia is very accepting, insightful and interesting. She has a really nice way of talking that doesn't make therapy feel so heavy, which is a nice change of pace. She seems to understand people well -- all people. Highly recommended.
Cecilia has been a fantastic help to me. Her friendly manner, knowledge and understanding, of all issues going on has helped me so much getting through the rough patches and I thank her dearly.
Cecilia has been exactly what I have needed from a counselor. She has given me great advice and coping strategies, and is able to help me process all sorts of problems. She is extremely prompt with replies, and has been there quickly in times of extreme issue. She is gentle and understanding, and guides me through thought processes, rather than telling me the answer upfront. Certainly the best counselor I have had.
I was nervous but I'm really surprised and have been making great progress with myself. Cecilia is always there and doesn't judge.
She has been excellent, very good advice and she's able to get me thinking about my issues in a more positive, constructive way.
Cecilia is empathetic and intuitive. She is very understanding and offers insightful feedback, her positivity is contagious. She's great!
Cecilia is wonderful! She pays attention to what you write, and picks out the key ingredients to talk about. She has great ideas for what might be able to help, and she's very easy to relate to. All in all, finding BetterHelp has really helped a lot, but I really owe it all to Cecilia. BetterHelp did wonderful at finding a counselor perfect for me.
She is a great therapist
Cecilia is amazing, she replies quickly, she asks questions that make you think and get right to the heart of the problem. She then gives wonderful advise and examples.
I am really enjoying working with Cecilia. I can communicate with her as things come up, which works much better for me than live counseling which I find draining and upsetting. It's too hard to save up all my issues for once a week not to mention it costs about 4 times more than this method.
She is very responsive and open and I understand her responses. She's helped me already in many ways. I hope to be able to meet with her in person someday in the near future.
I feel very fortunate to be working with Cecilia. At a very difficult point in my life, where circumstances had taken a trusted in-person therapist away, and in person weekly therapy with someone new was simply not enough to get through the separation anxiety on top of other issues, she has been a kind, steady support online. She is able to pick up the most important details of what I'm sharing and give me very valuable feedback. I'm also thrilled that fate has placed me with her, because as an artist, someone with an art therapy background means a lot! Sometimes a picture can express far more than words can ever say, so I'm glad I have the option to attach images as well to share. I'm so glad BetterHelp exists!
