I believe we all have a story. We are who we are because of what happened to us. I remember receiving counseling services  for the first time as a teen. Life happened fast and I didn’t have the skills needed to effectively cope. As a result, I’ve felt compelled to provide the same support and compassion that was afforded to me. My therapy experience was so grand that I maintained therapy services even in my adult life. I’m an advocate for empowering and improving self. Our purpose is to be purposeful. My purpose is the driving force in my work. 

​

My name is Latoya Celestin-Boutin, MSW, LCSW, owner of Grace Counseling, LLC. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies and a Master’s degree in Social Work, with a concentration in Mental Health. I have over 10 years of experience working with children and families. Currently, I am working in a clinical setting, providing mental health counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults.

I have specialized training in many areas; however, as a former collegiate student-athlete, I am inspired to provide support for adolescents who experience the pressures of performing on and off the field. 

As a therapist, I have a passion for expanding my knowledge and enhancing my skills. I attend continuing education courses annually. I am a certified Preschool and Youth PTSD therapist. I have recently completed basic EMDR training. I am currently undergoing additional training and consultation to become a certified EMDR therapist.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide a safe environment of acceptance and empathetic understanding; an unconditional positive regard to allow you to feel free to express and process thoughts, feelings and concerns. My hope is that Grace Counseling, LLC will empower you to be kind, understanding, and accepting of yourself. You’re doing your best! As you consider moving forward with services, give yourself the opportunity to “Be You, With Grace!”
