Cibele Sousa (she/her) is a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Portuguese-English) dedicated to helping people heal and grow through a holistic, body-mind-spirit approach. She is a Certified Facilitator of The Resilience Toolkit, Certified TRE® Provider, Certified in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and a Certified RITTM (Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model) practitioner. Cibele earned her Master’s in Psychology and Business with a focus on Counseling and Human Resources Development from California State University Northridge.
Her work integrates a variety of trauma-informed approaches including Brainspotting, EMDR, MBSR, NeuroAffective Touch, and CBT. She began her career supporting infants and families through early developmental challenges and has since expanded her practice to work with individuals and families healing from trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Cibele is also passionate about community service, with a history of volunteering in health, education, and social justice projects. In 2016, she received the Halo Award from the Carl & Roberta Deutsch Foundation for her exemplary service.
She finds daily joy in nature, spiritual connection, and life’s simple beauty—from sunrise walks and hummingbirds in bloom to the calming rhythm of ocean waves. Her deep relationship with a higher power brings purpose and presence to both her personal life and her healing work.
