Celestial Psychology
Currently, in her private practice, Celeste is developing her own promising theory of psychotherapy which she has
suitably named Celestial Psychology™. This exciting therapy utilizes an eclectic blend of standard psychiatric techniques
with state-of-the-art Holistic healing modalities. Celestial Psychology™ is founded on the belief that human beings are
capable of change, and that the most profound vehicle for change is consciousness raising.

    "A summary of the change processes advocated by psychotherapy systems shows ... that the change process with
    the greatest agreement [among compared theories] is consciousness raising. Compared with other processes of
    change, three times as many therapies include an expansion of consciousness as a central factor in behavior
    change." 1.

Celestial Psychology™ is an eclectic blend of standard, well-known psychiatric theories such as: Behavior Modification;
Twelve-Step Facilitation; Self-Psychology; Rational Emotive Therapy; Cognitive Restructuring; Solution-Focused and
Mindfulness Training. Celeste has also incorporated meditation and energy work into her Talk Therapy sessions. Clients
learn consciousness-raising techniques, relaxation, stress management, nutrition and natural supplement use.
