…a little bit more about me

Cecilia “Ceci” Garrett, MSW, LSWAIC

You’re looking for relief. I’d love to help.

C’mon in. Grab a chair, bring your favorite drink–coffee or tea, water? I think there are a few things you should know about me.

My Background

I’ve been an avid people-watcher my whole life. Watching those around me struggle made me long to find answers to the “whys” of emotional pain and the “hows” to catalyze healing. I’ve worked with individuals and families touched by anxiety, trauma, stress and overwhelm for more than a decade. A few years ago, I decided to move from paraprofessional helping to clinical social work so I could help more people, like you, begin the path to healing from past painful learning and to make steps toward intentional living based upon your values and goals.

My Approach & Philosophy

I’m a collaborator and love to teach clients the skills they need to move toward the life they dream of. I am trained in several modalities including:

• cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (EMDR)
• Exposure therapies (prolonged exposure and ERP)

….but my favorite modality is Feedback-informed therapy which utilizes session rating scales to improve your experience of therapy, typically increasing satisfaction with the therapeutic relationship and shortening the length of care.

I specialize is several symptom groups, including:

• anxiety
• stress
• trauma
• OCPD
• high clutter/hoarding

I hope you’ll schedule a discovery call now to see if I’m a good fit for you!
