Therapist in Sammamish, Washington Cecelia Engleman, Therapist

Cecelia Engleman helps adults throughout Washington navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion, clinical expertise, and a deeply collaborative approach to therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides Individual Therapy for adults and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and major life transitions. Cecelia creates a supportive space where clients can better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical tools for long-term emotional wellness. Cecelia is especially passionate about supporting individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital and are working toward stability, healing, and reintegration into daily life. She understands that this transition can feel overwhelming and isolating, and she strives to provide grounded, trauma-informed care that helps clients regain confidence, strengthen coping skills, and establish a renewed sense of safety and purpose. Her therapeutic style is thoughtful, empowering, and tailored to each client’s unique experiences and goals. With experience treating ADHD, PTSD and trauma, and Bipolar Disorder, Cecelia also supports individuals navigating grief, obsessive-compulsive disorder, later life transitions, and women’s mental health concerns. She incorporates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier patterns. She also has experience working with individuals within the Autism Spectrum Disorder community and those recovering from head injuries, while offering additional areas of support as needed. Cecelia earned her education from Our Lady of the Lake University and Eastern Washington University. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2022, she has remained committed to making mental health care accessible, affirming, and centered on meaningful growth and resilience. Outside of her professional work, Cecelia enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, reading, watching movies, and being in nature. She values balance and overall well-being, which helps her remain grounded and fully present in her work with clients.
