Getting to know Celia Kokoris

Feeling stuck in a cycle of drinking, using, or wrestling with big emotions can be exhausting. You might catch yourself thinking, “I should be able to handle this,” yet nothing you try seems to stick for long. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. I’m a licensed therapist and Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor, as well as a Contextual DBT Psychotherapist, who helps adults find steadier ground—whether that means cutting back, staying sober, or learning healthier ways to handle stress, anger, or sadness. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from The University of Chicago and completed a Fellowship in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy at the University of Chicago: Hyde Park. Additionally, I earned a Certificate in Drug and Alcohol Studies and Counseling from the same institution, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach to care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our sessions will feel more like real conversations than clinical lectures. We’ll start with what matters most to you right now, set doable goals together, and test out tools that fit your life. I pull from proven evidence based approaches and show you how to use each strategy outside the therapy room.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Many of the people I see are juggling work, family, and relationships while trying to get a handle on cravings, mood swings, or “all-or-nothing” thinking. Reaching out can feel intimidating, yet it’s already proof that you’re ready for something different. The first step doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be yours.
