Cecelia Ali

She/Her
Cecelia
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Cecelia is an LMFT who believes you are the expert of your own story. She feels passionate about inspiring people to tap into personal strengths because she thinks that is one of the biggest keys to living a more enriched life. She is experienced in working with issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, insomnia and life adjustments. Cecelia uses an eclectic style which mostly draws on modalities like ACT, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused and Narrative whilst tailoring treatment to an individual rather than a one size fits all approach. Cecelia's approach to therapy often leans on humor to establish a secure, engaging environment for conversation countering the cold and invalidating nature of the world outside.
In her spare time, Cecelia enjoys bird watching, reading and the company of animals.
