women
it didn’t used to feel this loud.
but lately the anxiety spikes harder.
the self-doubt cuts deeper.
the old wounds don’t stay buried.
maybe it was the breakup.
maybe it was the burnout.
maybe it was the moment that stirred something unresolved.
you’re confronting history -
and you don’t want to repeat it again.
that’s usually when women find me.

psychotherapy
for women
You need someone who can see the pattern - where it started, why it keeps repeating, and what it will actually take to interrupt it.
You already have strengths you’re not fully using.
I help women identify what’s keeping them stuck.
Understand where those patterns began.
And build the confidence and clarity to change them.
I’m Cecilia Spero, licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, and I work with women across California.
Our work is conversational, direct, and grounded in solid clinical training.
This isn’t therapy that keeps you comfortable.
if you’re here, you’re not looking for surface-level coping
conversations that create change
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a structure - not a script.
We look at thoughts and behaviors, yes.
But we also slow down enough to understand what shaped them.
This isn’t therapy that rushes you past your emotions.
And it isn’t therapy that keeps you stuck in them.
We make space for the story.
And we build the tools to change it.
You didn’t choose all of who you became.
Some of it was shaped by what was required of you.
Some of it was shaped by what kept you safe.
Some of it was shaped by what earned you love.
The question now isn’t how you survived.
It’s who you want to be next.
what shaped you still shapes you.
choose wisely.
