Psychotherapy • Novels

Where story becomes healing—and art.

I’m Cecilia Samartin, a psychotherapist and novelist. In therapy, we work with the narrative of your life—what shaped you, what you carry, and what you’re ready to change. In my fiction, those same themes find a creative home.

Approach

A narrative way of working

Therapy is a collaborative process of listening closely to your story—its turning points, patterns, and meanings.

Together we make room for what’s true, soften what’s been hardened by experience, and shape a next chapter that feels more aligned. I often work with creatives and highly sensitive people who want both insight and practical change.
