Getting to know Cecilia Macedo

Hi there, I'm Cecilia! Hello, my name is Cecilia and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC). I earned my Master’s in Counselor Education from San Jose State University. I think of therapy as an anchor in your week—a focal point to begin practicing mindfulness and developing other useful skills. My areas of focus are anger management, teen fatherhood, life transitions, parenting challenges, relationship issues, and creative expression. My approach I use DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care, solution-focused therapy, ACT, mindfulness, and creative expression. I believe that accountability, self-compassion, and empathy for others are key components of meaningful and sustainable change. My focus Currently, I work with clients ranging in age from 13 to 73 years old. My areas of focus include anger management, teen fatherhood, life transitions, parenting challenges, relationship issues, and creative expression. My communication style I'm direct and prefer to focus on solutions and skill-building. I also like to teach clients about what is happening "under the surface" by exploring the relationship between thoughts, feelings, physiological reactions, and behavior. Sessions with me are tailored to each client's needs. For example, some clients work on art projects or other types of creative expression, while others practice communicating with loved ones and establishing healthy boundaries. I'm young at heart and enjoy helping clients find their hearts' desire. My journey to therapy Depending on who asks, I have a different answer. As a child, I wanted to be a horse jockey, and I don’t remember what I wanted to be in middle school. Somehow, I decided I wanted to be a high school math teacher, so when I started community college in 2006—five years after graduating high school—I was on that path.
