Hi, I’m Peter Cellarius. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people find their way back to connection, vitality, and a sense of being at home in themselves.

When people encounter trauma, loss, or sustained stress, they can become stuck—emotionally, relationally, or physically. Life can narrow. In my work, I help clients move through what has been overwhelming or isolating, so that growth and aliveness can resume. If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or anxious, you’re not broken—and it’s not too late for change.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is experiential, relational, and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that healing happens when difficult emotions can be felt and processed in the presence of a caring, attuned other. Together, we slow things down, track what’s happening in the moment, and help new experiences of safety, clarity, and connection take hold.

I have advanced training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Somatic Experiencing® (SE™ Practitioner), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT and EFIT Certified), Internal Family Systems (Level 3), EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Advanced). I draw from these approaches thoughtfully, tailoring the work to each person and relationship.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in the high-tech world. I eventually left that career because I knew there was more to life than achievement alone, and because I wanted to help relieve human suffering in a more direct way.

Whether you’re struggling in your relationship, living with anxiety or depression, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you don’t have to face it alone. There is hope, and we can work toward it together.
