Celeste Ryan, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Celeste!

I use a mixture of depth psychology (Jungian) and somatic experiencing. I am also attachment-focused.

My focus

I work both virtually and in person. I work mostly with individuals and couples, but also with adolescents and children.

My approach

I use a mixture of Jungian psychotherapy (awareness of the unconscious and its complexes through dreams, fantasies, and behaviors) in conjunction with the body (felt sensations, emotions, and how trauma gets held). Work with developing affect tolerance (nonreactivity).

My communication style

My communication style is supportive of curiosity, self-reflection, and utilizes a relational approach towards my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

Wanting to understand human nature. Wanting to help others with the experience of suffering. What brings meaning to people's lives?

My goals for you

I ask clients what it is that they want to get out of our work together. We address where I see progress and where resistance (an internal conflict, possibly).

Our first session

Developing a clinical relationship, looking at history, and what is occurring in their life now. What is it that troubles them in beginning therapy?
