Never believed I needed therapy until my GF suggested it to save our relationship. Trauma from childhood reared its ugly head into my life when I thought it was all behind me. It didn’t happen until I entered a long term relationship. Celeste has been great at listening and helping me cope with finding myself again. It will be a long road but so far I trust her in helping me.

Calm, intelligent, insightful and kind. This is my view of therapy with Celeste this far. This may be my first real match with a therapist.
