Whether you are feeling down, depleted, or in pain; if you’re wondering whether you are good enough, or having difficulties finding the motivation to start your day, psychotherapy is an effective way of rediscovering yourself. It allows you to get to the root of your symptoms and find the answers you are looking for in order to create a more fulfilling sense of self. As individuals, we all experience depression, anxiety, trauma in our lives, often more than once. You do not have to go through these issues alone.


Whether you are experiencing difficulties as an individual, with friends, family members, or your partner, Cecilia Bichara, LCSW uses a combination of psychodynamic practices that are individually tailored to meet your needs. She provides individual, couple, and family therapy in a safe nonjudgmental space and can help you in this very personal journey.


Todos pasamos por momentos difíciles de depresión, ansiedad, trauma y más de una vez, los cuales causan angustias, baja autoestima, y afecta nuestra percepción del mundo, de los demás, y de nosotros mismos. Con mi experiencia en terapia individual,de pareja y familiar en un ambiente de aceptación y confidencialidad, puedo ayudarlo/a en este proceso personal.
