Selda Celen-Demirtas, Ph.D.,

Licensed Psychologist & Founder

I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from University of Massachusetts Boston . I have extensive clinical experience at college counseling centers including University of Connecticut Counseling and Mental Health Services and Boston College University Counseling Services. Upon completing my training, I worked as a staff psychologist at Tufts University Counseling and Mental Health Service. I have over seven years of clinical experience.

I have been providing long-term and short-term individual therapy to a diverse population with respect to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, and socioeconomic status. I work with a variety of presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, identity issues, relationship problems, vocational issues, developmental concerns, and stress management.

I have special interest in issues of cultural and diversity issues; complex trauma and resilience; identity development; attachment; interpersonal conflict and close relationships; and personal, social, emotional, and vocational development during emerging adulthood and beyond.

My approach emphasizes genuineness, respect for the individual, and compassion. I strive to provide a safe and empowering environment for my clients.

As an international person/immigrant myself, I am particularly interested in working with immigrants and international people. I also provide therapy in Turkish.

Besides my clinical experiences, I have also been actively involved in teaching and research. I taught master’s level abnormal psychology, assessment, vocational counseling, research, and ethics courses as Adjunct Faculty at UMass Boston. I have conducted extensive research on developmental issues and well-being of emerging adults (ages 18-29). These experiences tremendously contribute to my clinical work.
