Her diverse clinical background allows her to support clients navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, relational, and life challenges.
Celina earned her Bachelor of Science in Social Work from The Ohio State University and completed her graduate education in social services at Fordham University. Her education, combined with years of direct clinical and leadership experience, has provided her with a strong foundation in assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, case management, and evidence-based therapeutic practices.
Celina is currently a clinician with Monarch Counseling Center, where she provides psychotherapy services to clients seeking support with their mental health, relationships, personal growth, and overall well-being. She strives to create a supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, identifying their strengths, and working toward meaningful and sustainable change.
Throughout her clinical career, Celina has provided individual, couples, and family therapy and has experience conducting comprehensive clinical assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, facilitating psychoeducational groups, providing case management services, and collaborating with multidisciplinary treatment teams. She has worked with clients experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, adjustment-related concerns, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, and other behavioral health challenges.
Celina utilizes an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based and person-centered modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma-focused interventions, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She recognizes that each client enters therapy with a unique history, set of strengths, and personal goals, and she works collaboratively with clients to tailor treatment to their individual needs.
In addition to her outpatient psychotherapy experience, Celina has an extensive background working with children, adolescents, and families through intensive in-home services. In these roles, she collaborated with families, crisis workers, care managers, and community support systems while providing behavioral interventions, monitoring treatment progress, and helping clients and families develop practical strategies for creating positive change.
Celina also brings valuable leadership and crisis-management experience to her clinical work. She has previously served in clinical leadership and program coordination roles within residential behavioral health settings, where she supervised behavioral health staff, coordinated treatment services, participated in assessments and treatment planning, managed crisis situations, and collaborated with hospitals and community agencies. These experiences have strengthened her ability to understand clients within the broader context of their families, environments, support systems, and communities.
