Getting to know Celeste Ige

I am an MSW, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with a focus on helping clients navigate anxiety, relational challenges, and life transitions. My approach blends empathy with evidence-based strategies, drawing from attachment theory and mindfulness to foster self-awareness and growth. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to build meaningful change. My approach I integrate psychodynamic, EMDR, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) frameworks, tailoring sessions to each client’s needs. I often explore how past experiences shape present patterns while equipping clients with practical tools to manage symptoms and strengthen relationships. My focus I typically work with adults and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or interpersonal conflicts. I’m especially passionate about supporting highly sensitive people (HSPs), caregivers, and those navigating identity or career shifts. My communication style My sessions balance warmth and professionalism—think "compassionate collaborator." I prioritize active listening, humor (when appropriate), and gentle challenges to help clients feel safe yet motivated. Feedback often highlights my ability to distill clarity from complexity. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I believe in the power of relationships to heal. Witnessing clients uncover their resilience and self-worth continues to inspire me. This work is a privilege—I’m driven by the courage it takes to seek change. My goals for you Goals are co-created, blending your priorities with my clinical insight. We’ll break larger objectives into manageable steps, regularly checking progress and adjusting as needed. I value transparency about what’s working (or not).
