Welcome to Graceful Way Counseling.

Trauma-informed individual therapy services, integrating IFS, EMDR, Mind-Body, and Attachment-focused approaches to allow for long-term hope & healing.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Graceful Way Counseling website.  The search for a therapist can be an overwhelming process but my hope is to make the process of getting connected to counseling for individuals a little less intimidating.

Graceful Way Counseling provides caring, supportive therapy services for a variety of specialty issues, such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse therapy, addictions, divorce, grief and loss, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Bi-Polar disorder, stress management, and childhood traumas.

We can assist you in having better relationships with yourself and others through improved communication, processing past and present experiences, and finding deeper compassion and understanding.  A variety of therapeutic techniques are utilized to individualize treatment just for you.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over ten years of experience, Celestine Quiroga has gained the knowledge and experience to successfully help children, adolescents, and adults from all different backgrounds.  The word “graceful” is important to the services that we provide because our approach is gentle and encouraging of self-forgiveness.

Located in Palm Beach County, Florida, Graceful Way Counseling’s purpose is to help you rediscover your internal strengths and to follow what your heart desires. We understand that privacy and trust are important to really be able to have an open and meaningful therapy session. 

Change is possible.

Life can be overwhelming, and it may sometimes feel like things are broken beyond repair. We believe healing is possible with the right help, and we are here for you.

For therapy to be effective, we strive to create a space where clients can feel open to share what they need and know they will not be judged. The things that we share in therapy deserve privacy, trust, and compassion. At Graceful Way Counseling, we support clients in their healing, moving at their pace, and navigating this territory together. With that in mind, therapy sessions occur online and/ or in a private setting that allows you to feel comfortable.

Depression & Anxiety

We understand that depression and anxiety can be more than just symptoms; they’re complex responses often rooted in deeper fears, past experiences, or unmet needs. You deserve care that see and respects the full picture of who you are, not just focusing on symptom management.

Addiction

It can be rare for those with relational wounds not to encounter parts that are looking for relief, escape, protection, and numbing, especially when we do not have internal skills for soothing those wounds. We may be seeking coping through the use of substances and behaviors, such as food, drugs, sex, social media, gambling, etc. To make changes, we often need to look to the root of these behaviors and see how they are impacting our present day functioning.

Trauma & PTSD

Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Most of us will encounter an event that shakes us such as a car accident or natural disaster (especially here in Florida) and we will have some lingering symptoms then bounce back.

Complex, relational, and developmental trauma is prolonged, repeated traumas over a long period of time that can negatively impact how we think about ourselves, the world, and others. Sometimes, it’s more about what we did not get, in terms of safety and security from our caregivers. We can heal from these wounds too but it can often be complex. We may carry these patterns with us into our relationships, our self-concept, and our ability to regulate our emotions.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for treating trauma or other difficult life experiences. It was originally designed for use with PTSD but has been studied to be effective with many types of mental health concerns and symptoms.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS holds the perspective that we are all composed of different parts with roles that can assist or hinder us, rather than one cohesive whole. We all have parts, they can serve very adaptive purposes at times.  These parts can reflect emotional states, personalities, behaviors, and vary in developmental ages. If you’ve ever said, “Part of me wants to do this and part of me wants to do that”, then you were referencing two different parts that may be in conflict without even knowing it. 

Therapy Intensives

Have trouble committing to weekly individual therapy times or are you hoping to allow yourself to move through the healing process more quickly?

EMDR Intensives can be ideal for clients who have been through therapy in the past and may not have felt that it created enough change for them. Many of the clients that enter into therapy, have insight and tried talk therapy in the past but struggle with implementing tools to their everyday lives. Intensives are not always appropriate for everyone and we will decide together what option seems like the best fit for you.

Are you ready to connect?

Please call 561-571-5501 or email gracefulway@proton.me to schedule a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to determine whether we are the best fit for you.

It can be helpful to share what you hope to get out of the therapy process as well as get any questions answered. At the end of the call, we will have a plan to move forward! We are excited to hear from you.
