| Testimonials* “I have always appreciated and valued the way Celeste helps me feel about myself- important, worthwhile and special.” KM, Enfield, CT (7 years) “Celeste is always prompt, courteous, and professional.

Celeste has helped me to appreciate myself, and to see and access my strengths. Without her help I don’t think I would be as successful as I am now. Celeste is by far the best therapist I have ever worked with. MC, West Hartford, CT (3 years) “Celeste is key to my successful recovery.” KV, Cromwell, CT (5 years) “Celeste has helped me so much, in many, many phases of my life. Emotionally and psychologically I would not be where I am without her.” CK, Windsor, CT (4 years) “Celeste is very positive, uplifting and encouraging. I never thought I’d find a therapist who understands energy work and meditation… which is what I need and am so glad to have found.” TH, New Britain, CT (3 years) “I feel very comfortable in the office and waiting room setting. I like it when Celeste tells me to “keep up the good work”. She is very positive. If I had a loved one that was struggling with addiction, I would certainly refer them to Celeste.” JH, Stafford Springs, CT (1 year) “My therapist’s pluses are that she makes eye contact and gives me her full attention.

The recommendation to read ‘The Power of Now’ was very helpful. She makes me ‘think’, and when I am by myself I hear what she’s said to me. She always affirms my positive attributes, and I need to feel better about me and I think I am getting there. When I really needed to find a therapist Celeste was the ONLY one who had time for me. I was feeling very frustrated, and she was again, the only one who said “yes, I can see you right away.” KA, West Hartford, CT (6 months) “Ms. Mattingly has been very supportive and helpful at a time in my life when I need that.” RC, Hamden, CT “Celeste helped me to gain a deeper appreciation of my strengths and a better understanding of how to deal with my challenges.” RK, New Britain, CT (2 years) “Celeste is friendly but always professional.

Celeste has helped me tremendously and I would recommend her.” MD, West Hartford, CT (2 years) * Testimonials were obtained by way of a Therapist Evaluation Survey taken in July of 2008. |
