Luxury therapy practice California

no jargon. no judgement.

I’m Cecilia Spero, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over ten years in clinical practice. I’m easy to talk to, and nothing you tell me will shock me.

I’m CBT-certified, so we turn insight into action. I also bring in Stoic ideas about what’s in your control, and we look at what’s underneath. I’ll help you see your strengths while challenging the thinking that keeps you stuck.

Women are my specialty: what we carry, what’s expected of us, and who we become. That includes how race, culture, and heritage shape us, when it’s part of your story.

who you’ve been got you here. who you become is up to you.
