Hello! I'm so proud of you for taking this step towards change. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides compassionate and trauma-informed therapy for adults and teens. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation, and I use evidence-based approaches to support clients in developing greater self-awareness, autonomy, and confidence. My approach is creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build effective coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside clients to better understand their patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and cultivate lasting growth. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m here to support you.

Hi. I’m Peter Cellarius. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist. More importantly, I am someone who can help you develop a more fulfilled and rewarding life. When human beings encounter trauma or the stressors of life, they can get stuck. Lives can unravel. My passion is to bring healing to people who are troubled, hurting, or anxious. If you’re feeling stuck, you’ve come to the right place. It is never too late to make a change. I work with couples, individuals, and families. I help my clients grow and develop, for themselves and those they love. I help people discover how to find peace, connection, and wholeness. And because no single approach is right for everyone, I have trained in a range of approaches including Somatic Experiencing (SE™ Practitioner), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT and EFIT Certified), Internal Family Systems Level 3 (IFS), EMDR, AEDP, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Advanced). I left a successful career as a high tech executive because I knew there was more to life than money. I saw hurt and pain and I wanted to help. Whether you are encountering challenges in your relationship or dealing with anxiety, stress, or depression – there is hope. We can work together. You are not alone. Why not start now? Contact me and come in for a consultation. See if I am right for you and your path.

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.

Family and romantic relationships are challenging. It can be hard to ask for what you want. It has become normal for intimacy to die and it is my opinion that it does not have to be that way. As a licensed therapist who specializes in sex therapy I often have clients view their needs as unhealthy or their desires as shameful and I work to help clients feel authentic in their sexual expression. In therapy I help to nurture good communication and positive change. It is my goal to help individuals, partners, and couples connect deeply and feel safe. I am passionate about healing shame and facilitating communication about relationships orientation, sexual behavior, identity, sexual orientation, and much more. I've spent the last 12 years helping people cultivate healthy sex lives and relationships. My education and training equip me with a deep sense of empathy for clients facing that which feels impossible. When the emotions and feelings become overwhelming it might be time to try something else, it might be time to try therapy. I am Poly and open knowledgeable, kink and BDSM knowledgeable, LGBT affirming, queer affirming, asexual affirming, and sex worker friendly.
