Celeste Prose

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Oregon, and have been practicing in the mental health field in various capacities since graduating from college in 2013. For the past 2 years I have been working as a youth and family therapist in a school setting doing individual, group and family therapy. For the two years prior to working in the school setting I was a behavioral health consultant for adults receiving TANF services from the state, in this role I provided short term therapeutic services and helped connect adults to mental health, addiction, housing, and domestic violence services. When working with families I operate from a structural/strategic family therapy perspective, and when working with individuals I use a variety of strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, trauma and narrative therapy as well as truly believing in the power of mindfulness and approaching issues from a strengths-based perspective. I have experience dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity, stress, sleep, life transitions, family issues, and addiction. I believe that we all have the capacity to make changes and that it takes so much strength to reach out for help. The therapeutic relationship has the potential to be a catalyst for change, and I strongly believe that my nonjudgmental approach to therapy allows my clients to feel safe enough to open up and make progress quickly. I am really looking forward to speaking with you and starting your therapeutic journey together, as a team.
