About Me

Hi, my name is Keisha Bell-Celestand, and I’m the founder and lead therapist at Celestand Counseling, established in 2020. Born and raised in Lake Providence, Louisiana, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with a deep passion for creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore, grow, and heal. I believe in the power of collaboration and insight to guide individuals toward meaningful change and lasting growth. My goal is to help every client reach their fullest potential through counseling that is compassionate, empowering, and personalized.

I’m also proud to share that I’m a wife to the incredibly handsome Jeffrey L. Celestand, and a mom to two wonderful sons, Devyn and Joshua. Through marriage, I’ve also been blessed with three beautiful bonus daughters—Jennie, Jessica, and Jordyn.

My Approach

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities including:

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Family Systems Theory

I believe that no one approach fits all, and that flexibility and authenticity are key to effective counseling. My work is rooted in empathy, respect, and the belief that healing begins when clients feel heard and valued.

Specialties

Anxiety & Stress Disorders
Women’s Mental Health
Family & Relationship Counseling
Adolescent Therapy (13+)
Trauma & PTSD
Life Transitions and Self-Esteem

I also have a deep passion for working with young girls and women, which led me to found A Place for Her Counseling Center in 2017—a space that served girls and young women ages 4 to 44 until 2020. This mission continues to inspire and guide my work today.
