“Seraphina is the most compassionate therapist I have ever met. She has helped me truly heal and transform so many times and I wouldn't be the person I am today without her as my therapist. She is a master space holder and I feel comfortable sharing just about anything with her, as I never feel judged. She has so many unique perspectives and so much of what she has shared with me I have integrated into my own life. She also helps me to always go deeper, but is aware of how the nervous system and trauma works, so I never feel over-pushed. I have healed so much from my work with her as my therapist and am forever grateful. ”

Getting to know Seraphina Geiter
Hello! I'm Seraphina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Ojai, CA, offering Telehealth therapy throughout California and Illinois. I earned my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago. I work with college students, adults, and couples, specializing in anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and substance abuse recovery.
I've been drawn to the process of psychotherapy for most of my life. I've always been curious about people and the human condition and have a natural ability to understand and help others find their way. I find this work incredibly authentic and meaningful. I believe mental health shapes how we experience our entire life, and I enjoy helping people understand themselves and be equipped to live a life they feel good being alive in.

What should a new client know about working with you?
**PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROVIDER IS OUT OF NETWORK AND DOES NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE.** If you would like to be reimbursed directly by your insurance for sessions (check your out of network benefits), I will provide you with a superbill after each appointment.
After you book with me, I will reach out to confirm our appointment and send you intake paperwork ASAP. If you are unable to complete the intake within 24 hours, please cancel the appointment via ZocDoc.
I am an eclectic therapist, which means I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each client. Some core models I draw on include psychodynamic (looking at how our past experiences shape the present), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I find these models do a great job of solving problems in the present and providing deeper, lasting healing.
I have found that my approach is a great fit for college students and adults navigating life transitions, whether that be dealing with college life, a new baby, divorce, grief & loss, or sobriety. Changes in life can be rocky and confusing, and these times can manifest symptoms of anxiety, depression, loneliness & isolation, and struggles to cope with stress and uncertainty.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My communication style is friendly, warm, supportive, and helpful. My intention is to create an environment where you feel safe to be yourself, and open up without fear of judgment or being rushed. I like to create a good balance of holding space for you to explore and offering insights and solutions to help shift your struggles.
I approach goal setting collaboratively. We work together to figure out what results you want and move towards that at a pace that feels safe and supportive to you. It is normal for goals to shift and evolve throughout the course of therapy, and I will periodically check in with you about your goals to make sure you feel you’re making progress.
Our first session together is about us getting to know one another, building a connection, and me getting a sense of what you’re looking for help with. There’s no formal questionnaire or interview: our first session is an organic conversation intended for us to connect and to help me get a sense of what therapy with you would be about.
