Getting to know Maria Celeste Feliz

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my professional mission is rooted in fostering genuine human connection and empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion. I believe that the heart of effective therapy lies in a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and authenticity. My approach is relational, trauma informed, and grounded in evidence-based practice, ensuring that every client feels heard, supported, and capable of growth. I support individuals navigating occupational burnout, relationship challenges, and difficult life or role transitions with compassion and care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I tailor different interventions based on each client's strengths and needs who are experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, adjustment difficulties, and the lingering effects of trauma. I use an integrative lens, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based techniques.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My treatment vision emphasizes collaboration and empowerment. I aim to create a safe, inclusive space where clients can explore uncomfortable emotions, challenge beliefs, and practice new coping strategies. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to alleviate distress and create meaningful, sustainable, emotionally balanced connections and self-understanding.
