Our Team At the Port Orchard Wing

  Welcome, I am glad you made it! My name is Maxie. Washington became home for me in 2016 after living in the Southwest majority of my life. I am married and have three young kiddos. I have found a love of working alongside individuals who find themselves struggling with finding purpose and identity. Whether you are a new parent working your way back to yourself (or your partner), a teen struggling with depression, anxiety, or finding your sense of self, or maybe you're someone who struggles with grief and loss, I am ready to walk with you through it. I believe in the significance of being able to ethically serve clientele of diverse backgrounds including individuals from conservative backgrounds, the LGBTQ+ community, Civil Service, Veterans, and parents/guardians. I believe that healing begins once we can be honest with ourselves. Although my approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, I am also authentic, direct, and honest with my clients. I work with and for you. My job as your therapist is to not just help you to get past your hardships but help you feel prepared to be able to handle future ones. I use a combination of person-centered, strength-based, CBT, and EMDR treatments depending on the personal treatment plan we create together to reach your goals. You don't need to do hard things alone. I am ready to get started when you are. 

 Works with : ages 10 and up.  Sessions for children aged 10-12 are only offered in person and there is a required meet and greet prior to the intake to assess compatibility. 

My name is Tara Celletti and I am a licensed independent associate clinical social worker. I grew

up in Southern California, where I was exposed to therapy practices at an early age by my

grandmother. In 2021, I followed in my grandmother’s footsteps and received a Masters in

Social Work from University of Southern California. I moved to Washington in 2014 where I now

live with my husband and our three rescue dogs.

My passion is working with clients with a history of trauma on their path to healing. I find

fulfillment in helping client’s tap into their inner resilience while also working on new tools to

aid coping in the future. I utilize techniques from a variety of methods including CBT, DBT, Self-

Compassion, EMDR, and expressive arts. Above all, my focus is to make clients feel safe and

heard during our work together.

Works with: ages 13yrs & up.
