✅ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
    Hi, I'm Celina Bongar, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), who is fluent in English and Tagalog and loves all things Disney. I earned my Master’s degree in counseling psychology from CalBaptist University. Dedicated to providing compassionate and effective mental health support, I specialize in working with individuals and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.

    My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I’ve cultivated proficiency in Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, faith based approach, and solution-focused therapy. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly.

    My passion lies in helping clients develop coping strategies, build resilience, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether you’re seeking support for personal growth or navigating difficult circumstances, I’m here to accompany you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. I’m committed to fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and empowerment.

    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.
