Marcella has a passion for working with people, from teen years to adulthood and through the challenges of relationships. Each stage of life presents unique challenges and Marcella seeks to meet you where you are today, to help you create the future you are hoping for. She puts a strong emphasis on joining in with you in the journey of therapy to ensure you are not traveling alone.
Becoming an adult is challenging under the best of circumstances, especially as you balance leaving adolescence and learning about adulthood. Perhaps too many changes are creating new stress you did not anticipate. Maybe adulthood is not what you imagined. Or the disconnect is creating questions about your purpose or identity as an adult. Cella will help you build skills for managing challenging times and will support you in exploring and creating the life you desire. She is eager to join your journey toward a life filled with purpose and meaningful relationships where your values, dreams, and reality are all aligned.
Cella aims to see you as a whole person; understanding how your early relationships, marginalized identities and experiences impact your life today. Cella uses an integrative approach of DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Experiential Therapy to provide you with new skills to help create healthy experiences that match your values.
As an intersectional-feminist therapist, a Latina, and proud daughter of immigrant parents, Cella has a passion for deconstructing oppressive narratives and systems that impact our daily lives.
