Celeste is a licensed and board-certified Creative Arts Therapist, practicing since 2016.  After completing her BA at New York University in 2011, she found the field of art therapy and attended the School of Visual Arts, obtaining her MPS in Art Therapy in 2016. She has since been providing art therapy and counseling services to a wide range of individuals.

As an artist in her own right, Celeste works with a variety of materials from photography and film, to painting and sculpture, which inform her art therapy practice to include a similarly wide array of techniques. She practices from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating psychodynamic, trauma-focused, evidence-based, and many other contemporary clinical approaches in her work. Celeste tailors her treatment to each individual and works in a client-centered manner, collaborating with her clients throughout their time in therapy. Celeste also has a particular speciality working in the field of addiction with a primary focus on adolescent and young adult treatment, due to her work at Montefiore Medical Center since 2016 in an outpatient program for this population.

Celeste believes deeply in the power of art therapy to provide a transformational experience. She strives develop a safe space for such work, and to tap into the most healing resource we all possess - our own creativity.
