Hello and welcome! I am glad that you are taking the first step towards finding support – sometimes that can be the hardest part.

I earned my Masters of Social Work from the University of Denver in Colorado and a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Denver Family Institute. I have been providing outpatient therapy in a variety of settings since 2015. I see individuals from age 10 through adulthood as well as families and couples. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges and difficult relationships. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate a time of strong emotions, identity exploration, and changing relationships. When appropriate, I enjoy the opportunity to bring family members into therapy and use the space to improve communication and connection.

No matter who you are, I will work with you to create an authentic and down to earth space where you feel comfortable sharing about your past, your present, and beginning to move towards change. I will be your partner in considering new perspectives, learning new tools for coping, and uncovering the solutions that you already possess. I use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and strategic family therapy. I integrate art and play into sessions when appropriate. My goal is that you leave each session feeling empowered and optimistic about your journey.

I wish you all the best and hope we have a chance to connect.

Have you ever felt sad, alone or scared for no reason? Maybe you have had memories of a traumatic event that happened in the past or have felt not in control of your emotions? My name is Billy McAndrew and I can help. I am an L.C.S.W (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and have worked in the mental health field for 14 years. I have a long history of working with individuals who suffer from Depression, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Personality Disorders (Borderline Personality Disorder/Histrionic Personality Disorder) as well as all other Mood/Anxiety Disorders. I have spent my life in the mental health field and have worked in psychiatric hospitals, prisons and outpatient practices. I offer a very non-judgmental, reality and client-based approach to therapy. I offer CBT/DBT (Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy approaches as well. I love helping others learn the tools needed to help themselves and take control back from their mental health symptoms. With humor, down to earth explanations and ways to help you learn coping skills to use when not feeling well we can work together as team to get yourself back on track.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where there is still a stigma and taboo around mental health. My goal is to end that once and for all and to help all those in need. Making it this far in your journey is a step in the right direction. So set up an appointment and we can form an alliance to find out the root cause of what might be bothering you. Remember you are NOT ALONE!

Celeste Cantees, LPC, ATR-BC

Hello! I’m glad you are here.

I have been practicing trauma-oriented psychotherapy for over a decade and am a licensed professional counselor and board certified art therapist. I work with adults and couples, young adults, and adolescents, with ages for younger clients ranging from 10 – 18.

I utilize an attachment-informed and strength-based lens, meaning I work with you to highlight your unique abilities and talents as well as introducing new skills to rework difficulties from your past that may be unresolved to better create contentment in your life.

I specialize in working with relationship difficulties, communication problems, alleviating trauma symptoms and easing difficult memories, life transitions, improving social skills, career dissatisfaction and people who may simply be interested in deepening insight into their lives and reaching particular goals that seem to elude them. I work with family conflict that may include marriage/partner difficulties and parent/child difficulties to develop real, working solutions for problematic communication and to strengthen connection. My professional goal is to continuously create with you an inclusive, trustful and collaborative working relationship in all aspects of your therapy journey.
