When it comes to treating OCD, I'm empathetic, direct, and collaborative. I recognize there are phases of change that occur in your treatment and will meet you where you are to help you feel empowered to reach your goals. This is a safe and non-judgemental space. I want you to be as honest as possible in sharing your story. This helps me to better support you on your journey of recovery and improved quality of life. I also treat other anxiety disorders, BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors), depression, and body dysmorphic disorder.

The therapist helps me to understand how I can cope with my compulsions. We do exercises that I can use on a daily basis. She listens what I have to say and how I feel.

Celeste Soto has been extremely helpful, caring and has given our family much hope. She is very knowledgable and nurturing. So grateful!

Slowly but surely my son is getting comfortable with his discomfort. I’m doing less reassurance.

Celeste has earned my daughter’s trust and therefore encouraging my daughter to commit to the challenges. Celeste is kind and compassionate and never judgemental.

Just finished the assessment and booked the second session for my son. Hopeful and eager to start therapy.
