HER Story

Celia Cirello, Registered Mental Health Counselor & Group Facilitator for the Retreat. (Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling). In my sessions, I utilize a holistic approach, addressing the mind, body, and spirit to support health and healing.

I will be presenting the topic of “Cognitive Distortions” / “Unhelpful thinking patterns” & ways to reframe them”. Cognitive distortions are inaccurate or irrational thought patterns that can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. They are often automatic and subconscious, and can influence how a person perceives, interprets, and responds to events. The benefits of working on cognitive distortions is that it’ll help reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, decrease stress levels, improve relationships and work productivity, and lead to an overall healthier lifestyle mentally, emotionally and physically.
