About me

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have worked with clients over the 24 years helping them to process and work through individual challenges. Some of those included, ADHD, OCD, Depression, Anxiety, changes in life, parenting problems, relationship issues, career challenges and self-injurious behavior.

I am very interactive. Much of therapy begins with understanding your own coping styles, strengths, skills and boundaries. I will work with you on strengthening different skills in order for you to make changes in your environment and life. My style includes a lot of listening and questioning to help keep you focused on your treatment goals and developing different action plans. It is necessary to make changes in the environment to make improvements in relationships, heal from trauma, grow and become empowered. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I look forward to working with you!

Celena is a very experienced and effective therapist. I find that sessions with her have a great combo of skill teaching and allowing space to express/vent about concerns. Her insight is right on and obviously comes from an extensive amount of experience. I would recommend her without hesitation to those I love. I am very grateful to have found her during a difficult moment in my life.

I am completely blessed to have been paired with a highly skilled and kind professional. Celena not only understands me, but also provides many tools to deal with difficult situations, overcome unhealthy habits, and also communicate better with people in my life. Thank you Celena for the light you have brought into my life!
