Relationships bring our greatest joy and often, our deepest sorrows.

Meet Ceil Mattingly -Getting to the heart of the matter.


As a well-trained couple's therapist, Ceil works with partners to get unstuck from repetitive patterns causing distress. To help them learn new ways of thinking and feeling for new supportive behaviors to evolve.

As an experienced couple's counselor, Ceil helps partners move forward after an affair and infidelity. Quite often one partner has been experiencing emptiness and loss of an emotional connection. Often one partner may be leaning out of the relationship while the other is desperately holding on and is trying to figure out what happened to us?

Couples therapy is a unique opportunity to tune-up a relationship. It can be an opportunity to recommit. Sometimes after a brief process called Discernment Counseling, a decision can be made for one of three paths: 1) keep thing as they are, status quo; 2) decide to commit to couples therapy to rebuild a healthy relationship, or; 3) decide to divorce. I can be your guide for this difficult process.

Is it time to invest in your happiness?

Using EMDR and Brain Science to heal from traumatic stress.


The brain is often unable to cope with distressing experiences which results in traumatic memories being relived having a negative effect on the person's life. Ceil is fully trained and experienced in using EMDR to decrease/eliminate symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
