Celia Fierro

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma, PTSD, attachment wounds, grief, anxiety and relationship concerns. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, families, veterans, and military-connected clients. My path into psychotherapy began through fine art, consciousness studies and contemplative practice, which continue to shape my appreciation for creativity, meaning, and the complexity of each person’s experience. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, completed advanced training in psychedelic-assisted therapies at CIIS, and am pursuing a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy with somatic work, IFS, CPT, ACT, and other evidence-based approaches. Together, we look beyond symptoms to understand the experiences, relationships, and protective patterns beneath them. Therapy may include insight, practical coping skills, nervous-system regulation, and compassionate exploration of what is asking to change.

Our first session is an opportunity to slow down and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your current concerns, relevant history, strengths, relationships, and hopes for treatment. You do not need to arrive with the right words or a perfectly defined goal. We will begin where you are, move at a pace that feels manageable, and collaboratively identify the next steps.
