Celia Moczo, LCSW
Life in a fast-paced world filled with responsibilities, interpersonal interactions, and opportunities can be enriching and exciting. It can also be overwhelming and difficult, forcing us to navigate and process challenges that may foster stress, dysregulation, and even bring forth the effects of past and present traumas.
When considering my approach to therapy, I like to imagine a tangled ball of yarn. My job is not to pull hard on the end of the string but rather to give you the skills and guidance, every step of the way, to eventually feel confident that your “yarn” is workable and the tangles surmountable.
Specialties
Throughout my work as a therapist, I have cultivated expertise in processing and treating trauma, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relationship dynamics and I continue to hone a specialty in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My journey in understanding and assisting individuals with OCD has been shaped by my passion for mental health and wellness as well as personal experience navigating the daily challenges of this disorder. Through ongoing professional development and deep compassion for those affected by OCD, I have developed skills in evidence based therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which are proven effective in helping individuals manage and overcome obsessive-compulsive symptoms. I am dedicated to working collaboratively with individuals and their families to promote recovery, healing, and efficacy in the face of this often-debilitating condition. Recovery is possible.
Strengths Finder
Through working with clients, I have found that every person, regardless of their background or diagnosis, brings with them their own set of personal strengths that can be built upon in therapy. All individuals have many facets to their personalities; no one person is exactly alike, and so no single treatment plan will work for everyone. During our work, your strengths will be identified so the methods we use and the progress we make is relevant, dynamic, and sustainable.
About Me
I graduated with a Master of Social Work from Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts in May 2020. I have worked in both academic and clinical setting as a clinician, most recently serving as a family therapist providing community members with intensive, home-based care.
In my downtime I explore trails with my husband and our two dogs, continue to hone my childhood love of dance, and enjoy many different small hobbies that replenish my energy and allow me to provide my clients with quality care and support.
