Irene Celcer

I am a bilingual and bicultural psychotherapist. I am licensed in Georgia as a social worker, and my degrees are from New York and California. I received my psychology degree in Argentina.

I am familiar with the cultures of South America and several European countries, including Spain, France, and Poland.

I work with clients and patients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety,

body image issues, compulsive eating, and binge eating disorder. Parents come to see me with parenting challenges and LGBTQIA+ issues when they cannot accept their children. I see LGBTQIA young adults as well.

I also work with couples. I apply the Relational Life Therapy method created by Terry Real.

Couples succeed when the weak person in the dyad finds their voice, and the one difficult to live with, becomes more relational. I help with this process.

Wherever you are in your journey, if you need help, please come and see me. As human fellows, I too know about pain and suffering, and I hope we can work together to alleviate yours.

My approach is eclectic. I use various psychological theories and tools to help patients get unstuck and reach their goals. I may understand the problem from a psychodynamic perspective but use cognitive tools for instance to help the person solve a problem. I may use body based exercises or imagery if the client feels comfortable with those.

In the first session clients can expect many questions and inquiries from me. The goals are to understand the problem they bring and its context, as well as the person they have become given their lives' circumstances
