I’m Celeste Coffman,
and I help people who are frustrated, stressed and overwhelmed make changes to their behavior so that they reach higher levels of success in work and personal relationships.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Thoughtful Journey Counseling.
Since 2005, I’ve worked counseling adults and children, mainly focusing my practice on:
- Working with teens who have serious behavior problems
- Helping women who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression
I decided to open Thoughtful Journey Counseling after becoming a mom and seeing firsthand how overwhelming it can be to balance work, motherhood and personal growth.
I wanted a supportive listener to guide me, but going to a sterile clinic for psychological treatment didn’t seem like the right choice for me.
So, I spent some serious time in the study of life management and self improvement. I scoured books, websites, magazines, psychology texts, medical journals, and more. I took more grad classes in counseling and worked with colleagues to hone my skills.
Thoughtful Journey Counseling was born out of that intensive study.
What others have to say:
“Celeste is an energetic, enthusiastic counselor. She maintains ethical behavior and balance at all times. I enjoy our supervision sessions a great deal and support her as an independent counselor.”
“Celeste is a supervisor’s dream: enthusiastic, bright, energetic, and dedicated to getting the job done well. She has a level of focus and attention to detail that’s uncanny, and a unique ability to connect with others and win their trust and respect. I always enjoyed the humor and zest she brought to her work, and the spark she injected into the staff as a whole. She was a great influence upon her fellow team members and always modeled good decision-making, fairness, and judgment.”
