ABOUT: Celeste Emelia Mattingly, LCSW
Celeste Emelia Mattingly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in Psychotherapy for adults. She is a graduate of the Master of
Social Work Program at Springfield College, in Springfield, MA.
Celeste has 25 years experience working in a variety of personal and professional recovery settings. These include the last 10 years in private
practice, and over ten years experience providing clinical care in various outpatient hospitals, such as; St. Francis Care Behavioral Health, Hartford
Hospital's Institute of Living, Natchaug Hospital's RiverEast Treatment Center, Catholic Family Services and Rushford Treatment Center.
Currently, in her private practice, Celeste is developing her own promising theory of psychotherapy she has most suitably named- Celestial
Psychology™. This exciting therapy utilizes an eclectic blend of standard psychiatric techniques with state-of-the-art Holistic healing and Energy
Medicine modalities. Celestial Psychology™ is founded on the belief that human beings are capable of change, and that the greatest change agent
is consciousness-raising.
Specializing in adult mental health and alcohol & drug abuse assessment and treatment, Celeste wants to assure you that addiction and mental
illness are treatable as dis-eases. She has provided help (see TESTIMONIALS page) to hundreds suffering from all types of addiction (including sex
& love, gambling, and food), and all types of mental illness, especially depression and anxiety. She also counsels and educates family members
about how to address the special problems and needs of those afflicted with these diseases.
Celeste provides a safe and confidential environment where clients can talk freely and are listened to without judgement. Celeste encourages
clients to access their own strengths, focusing on the whole person, i.e., body, mind and spirit. They are encouraged to search their subconscious
to not only release and heal the old hurts, but also to find what will make their 'hearts sing'. Clients learn to develop assertiveness, coping,
communication, anger and stress management skills. They also develop skills to modify their behavior, and most importantly to change their
perceptions.
In January of 2009 Celeste became a Level III Reconnective Healing© Practitioner, and is now offering Reconnective Healing© Sessions, as well as
The ReconnectionTM at her alternative healing site located within The Center for Holistic Empowerment, in Bloomfield, CT. (Although Celeste has
been a Level III Usui Reiki Master since 2006, she is only practicing Reconnective Healings, now.) Celeste founded The Center for Holistic
Empowerment in 2010. Click on Events page for more info.

Celeste currently synthesizes all the knowledge she has acquired from all her formal and informal studies to guide, teach and provide example to
her clients. Clients learn to access their own natural healing capabilities and to develop their own affirmative life-changing powers. Clients report a
new sense of self and discover they are able to make healthier choices, better decisions, and to let go of illusions. Functioning improves and clients
experience more peace and forgiveness in their daily lives.
Celeste conveys a message of hope in all her personal and professional affairs.
