Celia Naar LCSW - Trauma Therapist

MEET CELIA

I believe that as human beings we are incredibly resilient, but weathering the storms of life can be difficult and sometimes we need more support. I work to help clients understand the impact of trauma and develop a new way of living in the world.  I integrate evidenced-based approaches including EMDR and IFS that have been proven to help heal long-term trauma. 

I have over 10 years of experience working with survivors of both childhood and adult trauma and I have seen my clients heal in ways they never imagined possible.

More about Me

What is Trauma?

Trauma is defined as anything our brain is not prepared to handle and exceeds our ability to cope with at the time. This means trauma is not only experienced by war veterans or those who have been abused. In fact, there are many types of trauma that consist of subtle, repeated interactions/experiences that leave a person feeling unseen, unheard, uncared for, neglected or forgotten. Trauma can be a one-time event or it can build up over time.

How can therapy help?

If you want to get to the root of the issues, understand why you do what you do, and find long-term solutions and healing, then you are in the right place. I want to help you get closer to the happiness, calm, and peace you’ve always wanted.
