Cecilia Vallejo

I am an experienced therapist, having worked over 40 years in different settings, in-patient, outpatient as well as in mental health clinics and dual diagnosis programs, helping individuals and families with a variety of issues, such as depression, grief, anxiety, trauma, family and interpersonal concerns. I got a a bachelors degree in Colombia, and a MS in Educational Psychology at UWM., followed by a two year internship in Marriage and Family Therapy at Aurora Family Service. I enjoy working with adults of any age,

My approach to therapy is collaborative, I utilize a goal focused, strength based, trauma informed approach, and integrate other modalities depending on the needs of the person. I believe in the importance of my relationship with clients as one of the most important factors leading to successful therapy.

In the first session we will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore the background related to those issues, discuss your expectations of therapy and set some initial goals. I will share with you my initial assessment and present ideas about the treatment plan.
