Introduction

Hello! My name is Celesta Palmer and I am Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to supporting adults, especially young adults, who feel weighed down by family-of-origin trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, or a deep sense that they’re meant for more. Together, we uncover the roots of your pain, strengthen your inner self, and build a life that reflects your worth—not your wounds. My therapeutic approach helps you: Heal family-of-origin wounds: understand how early family dynamics shaped your beliefs, boundaries, and relationships—and learn how to rewrite these patterns. Deepen your self identity: explore how culture, belonging, and lived experience have shaped your self-concept. Feel grounded, proud, and connected. Reconnect with purpose and meaning: when life feels unclear or disconnected, therapy can help realign you with your values, passions, and deeper sense of direction. Discover what truly matters to you and create a life that reflects it. Build secure, healthy relationships: shift out of codependency, anxious attachment, or avoidance. Learn to love yourself and others without losing your sense of self. Step into confidence and empowerment: develop a strong internal voice, trust yourself, and feel equipped to make choices that honor your worth. Therapy with me is a place to understand your story, break old cycles, and grow into the person you’ve always known you could be. I encourage you to take a moment and schedule a free phone consultation.
