Celeste DiMilla

First, I want you to know that there is real hope—you don’t have to stay stuck in the heavy loops of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or relationship challenges. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my work is deeply driven by my own personal path through anxiety, depression, and pain, which inspired me to pursue advanced training at The Vermont Center for Anxiety Care and in Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Today, I combine CBT, mindfulness, somatic psychotherapy, and other modalities to provide a compassionate, science-backed approach tailored to you. Through convenient telehealth sessions anywhere in California, I am here to help you find true relief, navigate life's transitions, and confidently reclaim your joy.

I believe that true healing happens when we address both the mind and the body, which is why our work together will go beyond traditional talk therapy. In our sessions, we will actively collaborate to unearth the root patterns keeping you stuck, while practicing concrete, science-backed tools to calm your nervous system and reframe intrusive thoughts. Because your experience is entirely unique, our sessions will never follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all script; instead, we will pace our work together so you always feel safe, supported, and empowered to make real, practical changes in your daily life.

Our first session together is all about building safety, comfort, and a shared understanding of your goals without any pressure. We will use this time to gently explore what brought you to therapy and look at the challenges currently impacting your daily life. My goal is for you to leave our very first meeting feeling deeply heard, respected, and equipped with a genuine sense of relief, along with a gentle tool or insight to help you begin moving forward at a pace that feels entirely right for you.
