ABOUT CELESTE

Change is hard. It's even harder alone.

I'm Celeste Himanek — a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDRIA Certified Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant based in Cave Junction, Oregon. For more than 20 years I've been helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, infertility, and life transitions with clinical precision and deep human care.

My work draws on EMDR, somatic approaches, and intensive retreat formats designed for people who are serious about healing — and ready to commit to it.
