She helped me with my anger but I think the problem might be bigger, so I'm back to try again. She is a trusted person and a good therapist.

Celeste knew just how to help in my current situation. She confirmed a lot of the things I thought I knew but wasn't sure about. She gave me the confidence to take action and do what was best for me. Thank you!

Celeste is good at communicating and she is good at assessing your needs to further help. Celeste has been really good with helping me be more proactive with the resources that she provides.

Celeste has been very helpful. She has given me tools to deal with my anxiety, helped me identify some of my triggers, and has been a great listener and has provided great advice. I always feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders after our sessions.
