✅ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
    Hi, I'm Celina Bongar, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I'm fluent in both English and Tagalog, and outside of the therapy room you'll usually find me exploring theme parks (Disneyland), searching for the next great food spot or matcha café, or planning my next adventure.

    I work with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, self-esteem concerns, and stress. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable showing up as their authentic selves.

    My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and faith-based counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith into treatment. I believe therapy is not about having all the answers—it's about working together to build insight, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

    I am passionate about helping clients strengthen resilience, improve emotional well-being, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season or hoping to better understand yourself, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing, growth, and hope.

    Mabuhay, ako si Celina Bongar, isang Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) na bihasa sa English at Tagalog. Nakatuon ako sa pagbibigay ng mahabagin at epektibong suporta sa kalusugan ng isip. May espesyalisasyon ako sa pagtatrabaho sa mga indibidwal at pamilya na nakararanas ng anxiety, depression, trauma, mga isyu sa relasyon, at mga pagbabago sa buhay.

    Ang aking approach ay nakabatay sa empathy, kolaborasyon, at mga evidence-based na pamamaraan. May kasanayan ako sa Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, faith-based approach, at solution-focused therapy. Naniniwala ako sa paglikha ng isang ligtas at hindi mapanghusgang espasyo kung saan malayang naipapahayag ng mga kliyente ang kanilang mga iniisip, nararamdaman, at karanasan.

    Ang aking adhikain ay tulungan ang mga kliyente na makabuo ng coping strategies, palakasin ang kanilang resilience, at mas higit na maunawaan ang kanilang sarili. Kung ikaw ay naghahanap ng suporta para sa personal na pag-unlad o dumaraan sa mahihirap na sitwasyon, narito ako upang samahan ka sa iyong paglalakbay tungo sa paghilom at self-discovery. Nakatuon ako sa pagbuo ng therapeutic relationship na nakasalalay sa tiwala, respeto, at empowerment.
