Therapists in Knoxville, TN
I understand that seeking help is not always easy. So the first thing I want to tell you is that I believe that therapy clients are some of the bravest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Coming to discuss personal things with someone you've never before met is brave. I realize that you might not feel brave or strong when you seek my help, but I hope to have the chance to help you feel those things. There are several reasons why people seek counseling including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and fear. Unprocessed trauma is often at the root and can feel like it invades every aspect of life.

Life can feel like a struggle sometimes. We may have had negative experiences, and may find ourselves stuck in certain patterns or ways of reacting. As a therapist my goals are to explore and validate my clients’ experiences, help them better understand where our patterns come from and help to empower my clients to find new ways to move forward.

When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate. Carl Jung. With 30yrs of experience, Celeste is for those who wish to get to the root of their problems and face issues that may be preventing meaningful change. Oftentimes these clients are those who have had traditional therapy methods or have been doing their own self-help work and are at a “stuck” point or are looking for answers that can be accessed through somatic, meditation, depth psychology or through exploring spirituality. She specializes with therapists to deepen their own personal process and to increase their efficacy and joy in their work.

Life is not easy. But it is especially hard for those who have experienced any level of trauma. Whether it is childhood trauma, sexual, physical or emotional trauma or little "t" trauma, all of it affects how we function on a daily basis. Trauma limits our choices and makes it seem impossible to make healthier choices and find the path we want to live on. If trauma is not something you identify with, but you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a lack of joy in your life and you have struggled to figure out where that comes from, I would love to help you identify the core problem.

I work with adults, teens, preteens, and children starting at 6 years old. Many of my clients are looking for coping skills to aid with mood disorders, conduct issues, or impulse-control disorders, such as anxiety, depression, behavior problems, and ADHD. Some want to work through trauma or grief. Others have less common problems. However, all are looking to make a change, but they do not know how to or do not want to do it on their own.

(Currently have waitlist) Some people feel stuck and unable to move past their worry, sadness, trauma, or grief. Others aren't quite sure why they feel the way they do, but know they want to feel differently. Coming to therapy can be a daunting and scary task, and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. My aim is to help people along their journey of becoming un-stuck and finding clarity. This process is easiest when patients feel comfortable opening up and do not have to fear being judged for their inner thoughts.

It's tough to maintain motivation when it feels like nothing is getting better, but you know on some level that it doesn't have to be this way. Looking for help can be the first step towards change. I understand how hard it is to deal with these issues, especially if you're used to dealing with things on your own.

I see individuals ages 8-26+. I offer individual and family therapy sessions. My sessions are very unique in that I allow a place for kiddos to be kiddos. My favorite part of my job is when a client tells me, "I never thought therapy could be like this." or "This makes so much sense." Kiddos are in a state of development that can be either extremely scary or exciting. What makes the difference is when they and loved ones understand this process on a cognitive, emotional, and physiological level. Then behaviors and responses become more clear and how to handle them becomes more effective.

Whether you have been in therapy for decades or you have never set foot in a therapy office before, relief is attainable! We have all been impacted by our pasts, by stress or trauma, by unhealthy relationships; and we carry that impact in our bodies, in our quick reactions to those we love, and through our depressed and anxious moods. Talk therapy is not enough and can leave people feeling discouraged, hopeless, and broken. With over ten years of experience, I have created a path in which my clients find their way to breaking free from their fears, doubts, insecurities and more and experience relief, freedom, and connection!

Everyone struggles with life at times. Everyone. Sometimes we reach a point that we need some help to see a different perspective...to see our perspective in a different light. It is during these times we can choose to make positive changes in our thinking and behaviors. We do this in order to have positive changes in our emotional responses and the relationships we have with others. Our struggles with life are real. Sometimes though, these struggles can be tied to previous unresolved issues and events. The good news is, with courage, we can address both our current and any past issues, now, to help lessen life's struggles.

Accepting new clients! Sometimes, the weight of our emotions can become too much to carry alone.
