Celeste Cheatham, MC, LPC

Are you someone who seems to have it together on the outside, but inside you often feel stressed and overwhelmed? Do you find that in some areas of life you are thriving, but emotionally and in your relationships you are struggling? I can help you move from just getting through each day, to truly experiencing a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and whole. My approach to healing is holistic, meaning that your individually designed map to healing and growth is addressed from a mind, body, and spiritual perspective. I work with people who have survived a difficult and traumatic childhood, but may need some assistance so the wounds from the past do not affect emotions and functioning in the present and future. I work with individuals, as well a couples and families. I help people to improve the quality of their relationships. I teach people what healthy relationships look like, and help improve communication and connection in couples and families. Sometimes you are the only one who is willing to attend counseling to address problems in the relationship. If so, I encourage you to work on your growth individually, as once person moving towards being a healthy can create positive change in a couple or family. I also provide support to people as they heal from transition in relationships, such as divorce or experiencing your first healthy relationship.

I would be honored to come along side you on your healing journey. The decision to begin counseling is a commitment to your own healing, personal growth, and the creation of the life you desire. My office is conveniently located in Scottsdale and easy freeway access for those who live and work in Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Tempe and Chandler.

Often there is a misconception that therapy is just about having someone to listen to you and tell you what to do. People sometimes say, "I can talk to my friends or family". Your friends and family care about your well being, but often they have their own bias. Therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space to unpack your concerns, thoughts and feelings with someone who has neutrality about your situations. Therapist fit is important for the process, so even if you have not had a great experience in the past, I would encourage you that it can be a very different experience with someone who is a good fit. As a therapist, my job is not to tell you what to do. Rather, it is to help you discover your true thougths and feelings about things so you can make the best decision for your life and relationships. Sometimes I might encourage you to consider a different perspective, but I am always mindful that you have to make the best decision for you.
