You deserve to
feel like yourself again.

If you’re struggling, you are not failing. Your nervous system is overstretched, your identity is shifting, and your life has changed in profound ways. Therapy is a place where you can let down your guard, a place where you don’t have to be “fine.”

Let me support you.

My Approach

I offer therapy that is warm, attentive, and deeply validating. Together, we’ll make sense of this transition—not by fixing you, but by helping you come home to yourself.

I believe that we are all born with the innate capacity and need to heal. Whether you’ve experienced a trauma, gone through a major life transition or just feel lost, I’m here to help you navigate and come to a place of true connection to yourself and others.

I am called to help you wake-up, connect with yourself and the those around you and live a life that feels whole. I will help you discover your “self at best”.

A Little About Me

Meet Michelle Cilia, LMFT

Connecting deeply with people is what motivates and inspires me most. Our relationships and connectedness to one another are what give our lives meaning. People close to me describe me as warm, open-hearted, and easy to talk to.

My style is warm, attentive, interactive, and deeply validating. I work psychodynamically, which means the way we interact during sessions is similar to the way you interact out in the world. It is my hope that when you work with me you will feel held and deeply understood. During sessions, you can expect me to be interactive, collaborative, and employ humor when necessary.
