About me
Hi, I’m Celina Bongar, AMFT, a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with Find Your Balance Center for Growth & Change. I am fluent in English and Tagalog, and I work with individuals and families navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and begin building a path toward healing and balance.
My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, faith-based perspectives, and solution-focused therapy. I tailor each session to your needs, helping you develop coping strategies, strengthen emotional awareness, and build resilience.
I am passionate about helping clients better understand themselves and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. My style is empathetic and nonjudgmental. If you’re seeking support for growth or healing, therapy can be a meaningful step forward. I invite you to reach out to schedule an appointment or consultation.
