In Person Sessions Offered in Lafayette

Celine’s direct approach primarily integrates attachment, developmental, somatic resourcing, expressive arts, narrative, humanistic, trauma-informed, social-justice oriented, interfamily systems, and cognitive behavioral methodologies into their highly-relational and playful style.

So often, therapy can be serious and dry, which can spark avoidance of therapy and disconnection between the therapist and client. However, Celine’s neurodivergent take and natural inclination is to add levity and playfulness in order to break the mold of traditional talk therapy in a relaxed setting. Imagine; play therapy for big kids or inner children, or two friends engrossed in deep conversation. You are the expert of your life, Celine’s role is to hold up a mirror to enable self awareness and introspection, while not taking things too seriously.

Above all things, Celine (and evidence-based research) holds that the most important aspect of the therapeutic process is creating a genuine, trusting connection with their clients, and emphasizes this as a common thread in all work.

Celine asks for $190.00 each 50 minute individual psychotherapy session, 220 for partnership and family counseling sessions, and offers sliding scale rates to those in need on a case by case basis. When not in the office, Celine is out hiking in the Berkeley Hills, tending to their 80+ houseplants, practicing yoga, cooking something new, or dancing with her three fluffy cats. Celine has offices in Lafayette and virtually to California residents, and has weekday and weekend availability.
