Celia L Garton, Ms

Celia Garton is extraordinary at what she does. She is what clinicians should aspire to be. She is unique in many ways, one of which is the fact that she has mastered the dichotomies inherent to therapy. Celia has helped me navigate through significant transitions in my adult life.
There are many things that separate Celia from others in her field. She possesses an ability to be both objective and subjective no matter what the situation at hand is. Celia is a rare find. It is impossible not to have an instant rapport with her due to the fact that she is so professional and human at the same time. She uses both data and emotion to identify and guide you through life. Additionally, while with Celia, she remains very flexible and truly listens/​hears what you have to say and tailors plans of actions to the individual as opposed to solely relying on theory.
I was lucky enough to be referred to her by a friend of mine and have «paid it forward» by recommending one of my closest friends to her. He too has had the same experience with Celia and it has had more than a significant impact in both of our lives.
Celia is the quintessential professional yet at the same time is able be emotional with you. She is not the type of therapist who merely listens and waits for you to have an «ah ha» moment, although she helps you to get there. She truly cares and takes an active role and has a sincere interest in partnering with you to get through whatever it is that you need professional guidance for. Celia is a rare find and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Celia is a phenomenal therapist. She is sincere, kind and straight forward and has ability to «get it» quickly. I highly recommend her!

We started out with a good experience with Celia for marriage counseling. Unfortunately, when we showed up for an appt. that she didn’t remember scheduling with us, she dismissed us because she had somebody else scheduled. After noticing that the person hadn’t showed up, she decided to meet with us. When the phone rang to notify her that the person she had scheduled was there, she abruptly stopped me and said, «We have to continue this another time, I don’t have you in my books, you are going to have to reschedule.» Even though the error wasn’t ours, we were treated as if it was. How unprofessional! If you weren’t going to finish speaking with us, why would you bother starting a session with us?
My husband and I decided we did not want to continue seeing her because of the way we were treated. When I called to notify her I was told, «you cancelled your appt. 2x in the past and left me with a hole in my schedule, maybe it’s better that you find someone else.»
Isn’t it my right as the client to cancel? She didn’t reschedule on me, she didn’t even accept any responsibility. I recommend seeing a therapist who cares about the client and treats the client like one!

Celia Garton is, hands down, the best therapist I’ve ever had. She has gone above and beyond to be there for me through life shaking experiences, depression, anxiety, and health challenges. She’s seen me at the lowest of my lows and has given me a clear and consistent message that I am not alone when I feel that I am. Her abilities as a therapist combined with her sincere warmth as a human being make her as special as a professional can possibly be. Words she’s said to me have replaced words in my head which used to be my enemy (i.e. unkind, unproductive thoughts about myself). She can truly «reframe» things in a way that shifts your perspective and makes the world of difference moving forward in life, and through all of life’s challenges. I adore her professionally and personally. She is there even when she herself is having what we all experience… very difficult life challenges. If you need someone truly phenomenal, wise, and sincerely caring, Celia Garton is the best there is. Hands down. Thank you, Celia! My gratitude is immeasurable.

Celia Garton is awesome. Wonderful therapist, I highly reccomend her!
