Hi there! I’m Celia. Let’s walk through the road of healing together.

Taking the decision to seek help is a big step in understanding yourself in a more deeper level, and to break free from patterns that don’t benefit your everyday life. Choosing therapy means allowing yourself to explore the feelings, thoughts, and experiences you have in a safe, nonjudgmental space. While it all seems overwhelming, I want to be there to walk with you through every step of the way.

As a therapist, I want to be able to help you regain a sense of fulfillment in life, improve your relationships, and to feel like yourself once again. I want to be able to support you while allowing our time to feel open-minded, humorous, engaging, person-centered, and resourceful. By utilizing modalities such as EMDR and somatics, we will work together to navigate through the challenges of your life so that you are able to evolve and thrive as the best version of yourself.

What Therapy With Me is Like

When working with clients, I am a very attentive listener, fully present in the moment, whilst offering a safe space where you can freely express yourself without the fear of judgement. From there, we will work together to discover possible directions and barriers of your concerns.

Sometimes it can be difficult to break free from our own biases and limitations. To help with this, I utilize educational videos and readings to broaden your perspective and to assist with the awareness and practice of your coping skills. I want to encourage you to think beyond what you already know, and to help you embrace a more expansive way of thinking.

I incorporate grounding practices in our sessions in order to help build a routine of practice. I want to help anchor you in the present moments, and to cultivate a sense of stability to combat the feeling of being scattered. Life may be overwhelming and full of stress, but with me, I want to help you center yourself and realize that you are in control of your emotions.

Therapy for Grief and Loss

Grieving can be complex, and potentially one of the more painful experiences we as humans can face in our life. The loss of a loved one can feel overwhelming and to some, unreal. Grief can be a long and difficult journey, but you don’t have to walk it alone. With the right support, you will be able to move through the pain and find a sense of peace, while also honoring the love and connection that loss brings.

With my extensive experience of creating my own grief processing group, we can work together to navigate through the emotional weight of grief. Remember, there is no right way to grieve, and that path is different for everyone. As isolating as it may feel, I will be there to help you through finding peace amidst the pain.

Therapy for Anger Management

Anger is a natural and powerful emotion, but when you’re unable to manage it properly, it can have a profound impact on your relationships your work, and just overall well-being as a person. I will work with you to not suppress or eliminate your feelings of anger, but to help you understand and process it in a more constructive way.

To understand the deeper emotions under anger is a step that many individuals may struggle with, but I am committed to making sure that ALL your feelings are addressed, so that you don’t need to mask any feelings with anger or rage. With practice and support, you will be able to reclaim your emotional control, rebuild your trust with others, and feel more at peace with all of your emotions.

Therapy for Trauma

Healing from trauma can take time, and it can leave you will so many complex feelings that are difficult to navigate through. Whether it’s the result of a single event or a series of painful experiences over time, trauma can shape the way you view yourself, others, and the world around you. I will provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to understand the impact of trauma and how it may be influencing your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

I also specialize in providing a space for immigrants who have experienced their own sense of trauma. Migrating to a new place can leave a person feeling displaced, uncertain, and separated from others, with the addition of struggling to adapt to a new environment. My approach is rooted in creating the space for you to process all the aspects of your journey, with techniques such as a EMDR and somatics. Together, we will work through the trauma that you have experienced, helping you move forward to a more empowered version of yourself.

Therapy for Burnout and Perfectionism

Sometimes we create unrealistic standards for ourselves to the point where it leads to constant self-criticism and the fear of failure. When you’re always striving for perfection, it can become exhausting, and your own needs start to become overlooked.

As your therapist, I want to help you recognize and address these patterns, and together, we will figure out ways to manage your stress and to break the cycle of pushing the limits of your well-being for unattainable goals. We will find a balance, where you will still be able to achieve a sense of genuine fulfillment, while also practicing self-care and protecting your sense of well-being.

More About Me

I dual majored in Sociology in college and later went to law school for master’s degree, along a BSW. I noticed that in my legal practice, I was actually more interested in their socioeconomic status than their legal problems. I felt that legal problems have set answers, but real life situations don’t. I noticed that I enjoy building connections to my clients and decipher their inner worlds the most. I’m not afraid to sit with clients’ emotions and help them dig deeper into what they shared. I like to learn multiple interventions and immediately use in my sessions.

I love to read, having deep conversations, travelling, and going out into nature. Of my traveling adventures, I truly miss Egypt, Cambodia, and Turkey the most. I dream about revisiting them sometime in the future, but I still have a lot of bucket lists to tackle.

I also love to customize my clothes and jewelry, and I have quite an extensive knowledge about crystals and gemstones!

Celia Chen （陳映辰）, MA

成人心理諮商師
我陪伴曾經歷創傷的人，走在復原的路上，一步步找回內在的力量，重建自我效能，建立
對情緒與生活的掌控感。在治療中，除了談話諮商外，我也運用眼動減敏與歷程更新療法
（EMDR）和身體感知的技巧，協助你溫和地處理過去的傷痛，並整合過往的創傷經歷，
讓創傷不再主導你的現在與未來。我也以創傷知情的觀點，支持你在面對憤怒或悲傷等強
烈情緒時，能以被理解和被接住的安全方式來整理與轉化。

嗨，你好！我是Celia（陳映辰）。讓我們一起走在療癒的道路上

踏出尋求協助的那一步，是一個重要的決定；代表你願意更深刻地認識自己，並開始鬆動
那些不再適合、甚至影響日常生活的模式。選擇進入心理諮商，就是選擇給自己一個安全
、無評價的空間，去探索你的感受、想法與生命經驗。即使在想像中這個選擇似乎令人不
安，我會在過程中陪伴你，一步步走下去，並達成適合你的目標。
作為一位心理諮商師，我希望能陪你重新找回生活的滿足感，改善你的人際關係，並再次
感受到自己真實而完整的存在。我致力於營造與你有連結感的諮商空間，並擅長營造開放
、幽默、富於哲學討論（如果你有興趣的話），以你為中心的對話氛圍，並在過程中善用
各種資源來支持你。透過如EMDR與身體感知取向等治療方式，以及代入心理知識的傳遞
，我們將攜手面對人生中的各種挑戰，幫助你成為那個你渴望且有潛力成為的自己。

與我進行心理諮商會是什麼樣的體驗

在與個案工作的過程中，我是一位專注且全然投入當下的傾聽者。我致力於提供一個安全
、無評價的空間，讓你能自在地表達自己。從這個基礎出發，我們會一起探索你所關注的
議題，尋找可能的方向與阻礙。
有時候，要跳脫我們慣有的思維模式與限制並不容易。為了幫助你擴展觀點，我會運用一
些教學影片與閱讀材料，促進你在覺察與應對技巧上的理解與實踐。我希望鼓勵你超越既
有的認知框架，逐步建立一種更寬廣、更有彈性的思維方式。
我也會在會談中融入一些穩定身心的練習，協助你建立習慣並將這些方法帶入日常，達成
屬於自己的內在安定感。我希望能陪伴你穩穩地落實在每一個當下，幫助你從混亂中找回
重心與平衡。即使生活充滿壓力與挑戰，有時甚至覺得即將滅頂；但我相信，你有能力掌
握自己的情緒與方向，而我會在這條路上支持你。

悲傷與失落的心理諮商

悲傷是一種複雜的情緒體驗，可能也是人生中最深刻、最痛的經歷之一。失去摯愛之人，
常讓人感到難以承受，甚至有時會覺得一切都不真實，希望一切都不是真的。悲傷的歷程
往往漫長且艱辛，但你不需要獨自承受。在合適的支持下，你可以慢慢走過這段痛苦的旅
程，找到屬於自己的平靜，同時將那段深刻的愛與連結內化成自己的一部分。
我曾經發展並帶領自己的悲傷處理團體，累積了豐富的陪伴經驗。我將與你一起探索悲傷
帶來的情緒重量，陪你面對並整理這段經歷。請記得，沒有「正確的方式」可以定義悲傷

與悲傷復元的速度與程度，每個人的路徑都是獨特的。即使這條路可能令人感到孤單，我
會在你身旁，一起尋找在痛苦之中仍能安住的力量與希望。

憤怒管理的心理諮商

憤怒是一種自然且強烈的情緒，但當我們無法妥善管理它時，憤怒可能會深深影響我們的
人際關係、工作表現、甚至整體的身心福祉。我在執業經驗中也發現，無法控制的強烈情
緒失控，常常是過度壓抑的反彈或是創傷反應的一環；因此在會談中，我不會要求你壓抑
或消除憤怒，而是陪你一起理解這股情緒，並以更有建設性的方式去面對、表達、釋放它
。
理解憤怒背後更深層的情緒，對許多人來說是一大挑戰。我致力於協助你去看見並接納所
有的情緒，這樣你就不需要再用憤怒來表達那些被忽略的感受。透過練習與支持，你將能
逐漸找回對情緒的掌控力、修復與他人的信任關係、並能平靜地完整感受你的情緒世界。

創傷經驗的心理諮商

走過創傷需要時間；這段歷程常常伴隨著複雜、難以梳理的情緒。無論是單一事件所引發
的衝擊，還是長期累積的痛苦經驗，創傷都有可能深刻地影響你對自己、他人、甚至整個
世界的看法。在這裡，我提供一個安全、無評價的空間，讓你能開始理解創傷對你造成的
影響，以及它如何潛移默化地影響著你的思考、行為和人際關係。
我也特別關注移民族群所經歷的創傷與失落。遷移至新環境的過程中，常常伴隨著不安、
疏離、迷惘，以及適應新文化的種種挑戰。我的治療取向強調為你創造一個能自由表達與
整合經驗的空間，並運用如EMDR與身體感知取向等技術，協助你處理這段生命旅程中的
創傷經驗。
我們將一同面對並整理你曾經歷的創傷，使你能夠逐步邁向內在更有力量、更穩定的自己
。

職業倦怠與完美主義的心理諮商

有時候，我們會對自己訂下過高或不切實際的標準，導致不停地自我批評，並深怕失敗。
當你不斷追求完美，身心容易感到疲憊，而自己的需求也常常被忽略。

作為你的心理諮商師，我希望陪你一起覺察並處理這些模式。我們將一同探索如何調整壓
力來源，打破那種為了達到遙不可及的目標而不斷犧牲自我福祉的循環。我們會一起尋找
一種新的平衡方式，讓你不僅能夠達成真正的內在滿足感，同時也懂得照顧自己，並保護
你寶貴的身心健康。

從法律到療癒：我的旅程，以及一些小事兒

我在台灣大學雙主修社工與社會學，研究所轉攻法律碩士。我在台灣曾任法務，在執業過
程中，我逐漸發現自己對個案的社會經濟處境比對法律問題本身更感興趣。我開始體會到
，法律問題往往有明確的解答，但人生議題卻沒有標準答案。我最享受的是與個案建立連
結、理解他們內在世界的過程。我不畏懼與你的情緒深度同頻，並且陪伴你深入探索你所
經歷的一切，賦予意義並擺脫束縛。我也熱衷於學習各種臨床治療取向，並靈活運用於實
務工作中，不斷精進自己。
我喜歡閱讀、深度對談、旅行、親近大自然、享受有智力挑戰的工作。在眾多旅行回憶中
，我最想念的是埃及、柬埔寨與土耳其——未來我夢想再次造訪這些國家，當然，人生清
單上還有很多地方等著我去探索！
此外，我也熱愛訂製衣服與飾品，對水晶與寶石有相當豐富的知識！
