About Celeste
Celeste Rodrigues-Forbes is a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist™ who supports children, adolescents, and families in Calgary. She offers a warm, engaging, and developmentally attuned space where children and teens can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and work through challenges.
Celeste has a particular interest in working with children and youth experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, perfectionism, and school-related challenges, including school avoidance, bullying and behavioural difficulties. She works closely with parents, offering guidance and support to strengthen connection, build confidence, and navigate behavioural and emotional concerns at home. She has a particular passion for supporting children who feel deeply, struggle with big emotions, or find it difficult to cope in structured environments such as school.
Celeste primarily uses play-based approaches, meeting children in the language they know best—play. She integrates play therapy, expressive arts, sandtray, and developmentally appropriate talk-based strategies to support emotional expression, insight, and growth. Her work is grounded in attachment theory, client-centred approaches, and systems theory.
Celeste holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Calgary and has completed extensive training in play therapy through the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute. Her additional training includes trauma-informed practice, Adlerian Play Therapy, and parent consultation approaches. She has experience supporting children, youth, and families across community and private practice settings, including work with anxiety, trauma, behavioural challenges, and family dynamics.
