About Cecilia
Cecilia Samartin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, self esteem, and coping with life changes. She brings two decades of clinical experience to her work and aims to help people move forward with more confidence. Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients make sense of painful experiences.

She also addresses blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and aging and geriatric issues.
Clients can expect clear, straightforward conversation and guidance about small changes that add up over time. Cecilia emphasizes collaboration and sets goals that match each person’s needs. Her background and steady presence guide the work toward tangible progress.
