About Elizabeth Celaya
My passion in therapy is working with couples and relationships. I have studied mostly a differentiation based model for couples therapy following the work of David Schnarch, Terry Real, Ellen Bader, and Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. I have done some training in both the Crucible Method approach and Relational Life Therapy. Through my training I can help clients get out of gridlock, strengthen their relationship and create true intimacy.

Specializing in Marriage
and Family Therapy
Individual Therapy
My approach to psychotherapy is mostly relational. I take a family systems approach that addresses relationships in my clients' lives and improves their functioning for better health and happiness. Clients under my care learn how to unilaterally improve the functioning of a relationship through boundaries and self-confrontation. The result is individuals and relationships that thrive.
Couples Therapy
My work with couples is developmental and focuses on self-confrontation, differentiation, and collaboration. Individuals in the partnerships that I work with take responsibility for their own mental health and happiness and learn to grow themselves up in a way that brings goodness and intimacy to their relationship. I can help them overcome gridlock and sexual challenges to strengthen the relationship and reignite desire.
Family Counseling
I use a family systems approach in my therapy, so having family members in the room, in my opinion, is the most efficient route towards healing and growth in individuals. I encourage clients to address relationships that are causing distress in their lives and work towards healthy differentiation of self. This can be done in individual therapy as well, but is more effective when all members of the relationship are present.
