Beatriz Ceja
Hello, I'm Beatriz, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the social service field and 3 years of clinical practice. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and specialize in helping individuals develop skills for emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth. As a proud Hispanic clinician, I understand the unique challenges our community faces when it comes to mental health and the stigma that can come with seeking support. My goal is to provide an inclusive and supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped to prioritize their mental health for themselves and their families.
As a proud Hispanic clinician, I understand the unique challenges our community faces when it comes to mental health and the stigma that can come with seeking support.
I work side by side with my clients to create a plan that fits their needs and goals. With training in DBT, I use different tools and approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, non-epileptic seizures, dating anxiety, and life changes. My goal is to help you feel more confident in handling fears, impulsivity, or relationship struggles, while building skills to cope with challenges like parenting, breakups, or loss. As a Hispanic therapist, I also understand how cultural expectations can sometimes make us doubt or silence our emotions. Together, we can honor your culture while creating healthier boundaries, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of self-acceptance.
First session
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and creating a safe space where you can share at your own pace. I’ll ask some basic questions to better understand your story, and while a few may feel a little difficult, we’ll work through them together with care. We’ll also talk about what therapy will look like moving forward, set goals you’d like to work toward over the next 3–6 months, and begin shaping a plan that feels personal and supportive to you. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a willingness to begin. I also encourage bringing a notebook, since I love using journaling as a way to reflect, track progress, and make your growth more visible over time.
Strengths
I want people to take pride in the hard work they put into therapy. Because it is not easy. I enjoy seeing the good in people. I find power in approaching others with empathy. I also try to find strength even in the messiest and most vulnerable of times.
Ideal clients
I love working with individuals ready to start facing some hard truths. I like supporting them through the journey, but I also like for them to put in the work. My clients are eager to make change but don't have the tools needed to make their goals reality. They willing to correct me if they do not feel I understood them right, and are willing to accept challenges as well. I also really like working with people of color and Latinos. I understand culture can have a big impact on how we live our lives and as scary as it may be, it's time to set boundaries and start embracing bravery outside of our familial traditions.
