Hello, my name is Celene Puig, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who is passionate about mental health and helping individuals cope through life’s challenges. I received a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Trauma Enforced Care from Pacific Oaks College. I also received a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development from Cal State University, Dominguez Hills.

I received most of my experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in community mental health, home based therapy and school-based therapy. I provide a safe space to individuals ready to increase insight-building, emotional awareness, and behavior management.

I collaborate with clients to develop coping strategies that can be utilized to manage emotional distress by using modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and Culturally Sensitive Treatment.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal relationship issues, cultural issues, substance use, parenting difficulties, and challenges of emerging adults and adolescents.
Although starting therapy and finding the right fit with a therapist can be challenging, I hope to meet you where you are, and embark this journey in learning, facing, and overcoming life’s challenges.

Celene provides services in English and Spanish.
