Introduction

Hello, I’m Celina Bongar, AMFT, a mental health therapist affiliated with Find Your Balance, Center for Growth and Change Inc. Are you experiencing anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to navigate a difficult season of life? Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, having difficulty managing your emotions, or experiencing challenges in your relationships. You don’t have to navigate these experiences alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and work toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being. For clients who would like to incorporate their faith into therapy, I am also happy to provide a space where faith and spiritual values can be thoughtfully integrated into the therapeutic process. I believe your values, beliefs, and personal experiences can be meaningful parts of your healing journey, and I will meet you where you are. I believe therapy is not about having everything figured out. It is about having a safe space to slow down, gain perspective, understand yourself more deeply, and take meaningful steps toward growth and healing. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or continuing your therapeutic journey, I’m here to support you. If you feel that we may be a good fit, I would be honored to connect with you and learn more about what brought you to therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.
