Celleste Schnellbach

Hello, and welcome! My name is Celleste. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and MFT Board-approved Clinical Supervisor in MN. I currently have the pleasure of serving as the Vice Chair for Pregnancy and Postpartum Support MN, a local 501(c)3 non-profit. I am certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and additionally specialize in reproductive mental health, attachment parenting, postpartum couples, and birth trauma. Whether you are experiencing challenges with infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or post-loss know that you are not alone. I am passionate about working with people who are in the season of life where they are expanding, or working on expanding, their family. With over a decade of experience supporting the family journey from pre-conception to pre-kindergarten, and as a fertility challenged mom myself, I can deeply connect with the good and hard parts of parenthood. I utilize a blend of relational, attachment-, trauma-, and emotionally-focused techniques used to heal birth trauma; provide support to new parents; improve maternal mental health; and help increase a sense of security and bonding between people with whom we are closest to in life. I am also trained in Circle of Security-Parenting, an attachment-based parenting program. During our work together you can expect curiosity, warmth, empathy, and humor with emphasis on how your personal strengths, feelings, relationships, and unique coping strategies work together to promote wellbeing. We'll figure this out together and help you figure out who you are now, and process what changed along the way. As a mama myself I’ve found that a combination of education, support, space to be human, playfulness, love, and connection are vital. Additionally I offer systemic, relational supervision for therapists in Minnesota working towards obtaining licensure within their field of study. When I'm not working you can find me: -playing with my spunky, precious toddler -reading a good book -researching more books for my TBR shelf -playing volleyball -collecting crystals, rocks, and sea glass -tending to my plants -lounging with my family and our dogs and -watching the latest show or movie on one of our streaming services.
