Dr Celena Heine (She/ her)

The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I have dozens of them. My goal for you is to help you create an individualized toolbox of techniques that you can carry with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create relief. I work from a compassion and person- centered approach using CBT as a foundation and incorporating attachment theory and trauma-related tools such as traumatic incident reduction. We'll work collaboratively to address any presenting symptoms, giving you tools to use in the moment, then delve into the under the surface root causes/ past distressing and/ or traumatic issues. We'll start with what's going on in the moment and how to get control over your body and thoughts. For the past 8 years, my practice has been focused on helping people navigate relationships better, improve their moods, and address any past traumas.

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives and there’s no limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. In my young adulthood I used drugs and alcohol as an escape from trauma, telling myself constantly that I wasn’t good enough and others would never like me. Through my own therapy, I learned how to handle my anxiety, depression, and anger and move past it so that it didn't have control over me. I haven't had any mood issues nor have I abused any substances since 2008. I want you to feel the same freedom that I experience every day. I believe exercise is key & I walk and run between 4-5 miles daily. Although I am Christian, I don't discriminate against anyone. If you want to learn more about how I can help, send a message!
