Therapist

My name is Celeste and I'm an LPC in CO. I have always wanted to be a person that could have a positive impact on someone’s life. A person they could talk to with no judgment but instead empathize with them in a safe environment. Sometimes all that is needed is someone to actually hear what they are saying. I enjoy working with people to help them learn how to understand feelings and where they come from. To help them to communicate effectively, express themselves fully, and achieve their individual goals.

Finding the right therapist matters, and I understand that reaching out is often the hardest step. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for more than 20 years, working with adolescents, adults, and seniors across a wide range of life challenges. I am EMDR-certified and trained in a broad range of approaches because no two people are the same, and neither are their needs. I stay committed to ongoing training because therapy and people both continue to evolve. Past clients have appreciated my flexible, engaging, and non-judgmental style. My goal is to get to know you and work with you exactly where you are.

Grace Gvazdinskas

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.

Samantha Lawson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado Springs, CO


Hi, I’m Sam Lawson, and I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). I specialize in supporting women and parents through the emotional and mental health challenges that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and other reproductive and hormonal transitions.

I bring more than a decade of experience in women’s health and have cared for families through pregnancy and birth. As a midwife, I attended more than 800 births, experiences that deepened my understanding of the profound physical, emotional, and identity changes that can accompany becoming a parent and moving through different stages of life.

My interest in mental health grew from seeing firsthand how closely emotional well-being is connected to reproductive and hormonal health. I have completed specialized training and certification in perinatal mental health, reproductive & integrative psychiatry, and menopause care.
