Hi. I'm C.E. English-El, known by most as Ce. I've been a practicing Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Therapist for over 25 years and a certified Life Coach for over 10 years. My counseling style is eclectic and whole person centered with a wellness orientation. Not only am I good at connecting with people I enjoy the process of engaging, learning, growing and moving . My wealth of experience and exposure is grounded in the addiction treatment milieu where I evolved from a fledgling counselor to a director of clinical services for adult and adolescent inpatient and outpatient programs. I have authored and lectured extensively in the addiction treatment arena. Other areas of expertise include Emotional Intelligence (EI) development, Mindfulness appreciation, coaching well-being, relaxation response, self-care and family connections. Academically, I have a Bachelors degree in Social Work from the University of DC, a Masters degree in Education and Human Development from The George Washington University, and a post graduate certification in Counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. I'm thorough in assessment and delivery of services with integrity and commitment.
On a personal level, I'm a people person by nature and involved in this helping profession by choice. I’m a country boy from Long Island who’s been living the addiction recovery platform for over 30 years with the Florida sand between my toes and living with meaning and purpose.

Extremely helpful. Was able to help me find a way to build repeatable habits

Right from the very beginning. I knew I found the perfect therapist for me. I’ve had been in and out of therapy for many years and CE is the best I have experienced. From the very beginning, he gave me an action plan to change the old habits/patterns I had been going in for years. I’m happy to say now only a few weeks later, I’ve seen a dramatic change in my confidence, self love, and overall trajectory with where I want to be headed. Thank you Ce!

Ce has been immensely helpful in helping me work through many issues, large and small, and I owe him a debt that can never be repaid. He is everything one could ask for in a therapist and I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Ce.

He talked me through a pretty rough time and allowed me to reschedule an appt. I’ve got a long way to go, but I think I have found the right one to help me do the work.
Written on Feb 05, 2022 after therapy with C.E. for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety
My experience with C.E. has been extremely helpful for me and has allowed me to make impactful and lasting changes in my life and perspective on it. From our first session, I found kindness, positivity, and companionship in him that I will always be grateful for. He is a pleasure to talk to and be around (virtually) as he helped me navigate negative thoughts and come to terms with difficult circumstances.

C.E. is a very caring man. My sessions with him are comfortable and valuable. He is always a very patient listener and has good, tangible advice.
I'd absolutely recommend C.E. to others.

C.E. is great! He is an easy, open-minded audience, and he had a lot of useful things to tell me. I was struggling with issues around anxiety in my relationship and he listened and offered helpful advice to help me focus on myself. C.E. helped me work through my concerns and I would definitely recommend him if you need help working through anxiety!
Written on Aug 19, 2021 after therapy with C.E. for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and relationship issues
Ce helped me to get through and out of something that was crippling me for well over a 15 years. He is open-minded and even though I had originally wanted a female counselor, I felt very comfortable with him even though therapy induced uncomfortable moments at times. I'm extremely private and that may be hard to deal with when trying to help someone, but he was patient and understanding with me. He equipped me with tools that helped in or before dark moments and I just need to keep practicing so the habit becomes second nature. He's also very encouraging and speaks in a way that is empowerilike, ke, "you are in control", "you have the power to X", etc. He's also very chill and that's refreshing since I'm extremely laid back myself. 10/10, I highly recommend!

"Ce" approaches counseling with an open mind and an open heart. I was hesitant for years to try counseling of any kind, so when I finally signed up and was matched with Ce, I felt comfortable and heard. He offered me useful tools that I felt confident applying to my life, and I will continue to use them after our time together. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a calm, grounding presence (with a good sense of humor) in their life, regardless of where they might be.

Awesome
Written on May 19, 2021 after therapy with C.E. for 1 month on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching
My sessions with Ce were very beneficial. A+ would recommend. We spent about 3-4 weeks working through relationship difficulties, and in that time identified 3 practical and actionable things I am applying to improve relationships going forward. Ce is a good listener with thoughtful probing questions, and overall very comfortable to work with. I enthusiastically recommend Ce to anyone seeking new perspectives on how they approach romantic relationships.

Ce is a pleasure to work with. He brings a grounded perspective that I really appreciate. He makes me laugh, I feel safe to share my honest thoughts without judgement and he does an AMAZING job of asking me questions that help me get to my own conclusions. I'm so grateful I'm working with Ce, he's really helping me shift my energy and life into the positive - in such a gentle way!
