Celeste Gusme, MA, LPC & Owner
Hello! I’m Celeste Gusme, the owner of Honest Counseling, PLLC, and I am so grateful that you’re here. My passion is helping people, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey. Over the years, I’ve worked in various roles, including outpatient substance abuse counselor, career counselor, inpatient psych counselor for teens and families, group therapist for active military, and individual trauma therapist for teens and adults.
Counseling has been a powerful force in my own life, and I know firsthand how intimidating it can feel to reach out for help. But I also know the incredible growth and healing that can come from it, and that’s why I created Honest Counseling.
This is a space where both therapists and clients are encouraged to be authentic and brave, with a shared goal of improving mental health and well-being. I’ll gently nudge you out of your comfort zone because that’s where the true transformation happens. I believe that radical honesty with yourself is key to self-awareness and healing. Even if you already recognize certain behaviors but feel stuck in changing them, I’ll equip you with lifelong techniques to help you break through.
My goal is to walk with you as you find your way back home—to yourself.

Carlos Garcia, MA, LPC
Hi, I’m here to provide a warm, supportive, and interactive space where you feel heard and understood. Whether you’re struggling with insomnia, anxiety, major depression, parenting stress, relationship challenges, career difficulties, or navigating life with a disability, I’m here to help.
Our sessions will be personalized to fit your unique needs, using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll develop a plan that feels right for you—one that is practical, effective, and designed to support real change.
​
Therapy is a collaborative process where you share your experiences, and we work together to set meaningful goals. My role is to provide guidance, tools, and encouragement to help you move forward. It takes courage to ask for support, and if you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to walk with you. Let’s start this journey together.
