Cecilia Magistrale-Statz

I am grounded in honesty, advocacy, and deep respect for their autonomy. I show up guided by my values, including a strong commitment to social justice and empowerment. I believe everything is connected, and I bring that belief into the room with intention and care. I am someone who will help you understand your choices, your responsibility, and your own agency. I’m especially drawn to working with adolescents and young adults as they explore who they are and navigate the overwhelming stress and pressure that can come with growing up. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image, and ADHD.

My approach to therapy centers on curiosity rather than judgment. I am passionate about modeling how insight and reflection can foster deeper relationships within ourselves and others. I look at the whole picture—past, present, and future—through relational lenses, always considering how your experiences connect and shape your story. Healing, to me, happens through intentional connection and vulnerability. I work collaboratively, helping you slow down, notice patterns, and build a more compassionate understanding of yourself.

In our first session you can expect a grounded environment where you can show up exactly as you are. My goal is to help you feel seen, safe, and understood. We’ll explore what brings you in, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most pressing right now. I typically focus on building connection, clarifying your goals, and beginning to understand the broader context of your life, including your relationships, your history, and the pressures you’re navigating. Your voice leads the way and I will follow in whatever form that means for you.
