Celeste Verastegui
Celeste es una terapeuta bilingüe, de habla inglesa y española, que integra terapia asistida con psicodélicos, terapia de pareja y sanación con sonido para crear espacios profundamente vivenciales de conexión, introspección y transformación emocional.
Su enfoque parte de la idea de que la sanación no ocurre únicamente a través de la conversación. A veces ocurre a través del cuerpo, de las relaciones, de la música y la vibración, y de experiencias que nos permiten encontrarnos con nosotros mismos desde una perspectiva completamente nueva.
Como terapeuta psicodélica, Celeste acompaña a sus clientes durante la preparación, las experiencias psicodélicas y la integración, ayudándoles a acercarse a estados expandidos de conciencia con intención, curiosidad y seguridad emocional. Trabaja con personas que desean explorar patrones relacionados con trauma, identidad, relaciones, autoestima, transiciones de vida y crecimiento personal.
Su trabajo con parejas se centra en ayudar a los miembros de la relación a ir más allá de los conflictos repetitivos y reconectarse con lo que existe debajo de ellos: apego, vulnerabilidad, deseo, duelo, confianza y la necesidad de sentirse verdaderamente vistos. Ayuda a las parejas a desarrollar una mayor intimidad emocional, al mismo tiempo que crea espacio para que cada persona pueda seguir siendo plenamente ella misma dentro de la relación.
El sonido también ocupa un lugar importante en su práctica terapéutica. A través de la sanación con sonido, la música, la vibración y la escucha intencional, Celeste ofrece a sus clientes otra vía hacia la regulación, la conexión con el cuerpo, la liberación emocional y la reflexión. Estas prácticas pueden incorporarse en sesiones individuales, terapia de pareja, retiros y procesos de preparación o integración psicodélica.
Como terapeuta de habla hispana, Celeste puede ofrecer atención tanto en español como en inglés, permitiendo que sus clientes exploren experiencias emocionalmente significativas en el idioma que se sienta más natural y auténtico para ellos.
Su estilo es cálido, intuitivo, vivencial y centrado en las relaciones. Ya sea que una persona esté comenzando un proceso con psicodélicos, atravesando un momento decisivo en su relación, reconectándose con su cuerpo o simplemente buscando una forma más profunda de comprenderse, Celeste crea un espacio de sanación que incluye a la mente sin exigirle que haga todo el trabajo. Celeste is a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking therapist who brings together psychedelic-assisted therapy, couples work, and sound healing to create deeply experiential spaces for connection, insight, and emotional transformation.
Her approach is grounded in the belief that healing does not happen only through conversation. Sometimes it happens through the body, through relationship, through music and vibration, and through experiences that allow us to encounter ourselves from an entirely new perspective.
As a psychedelic therapist, Celeste supports clients through preparation, psychedelic experiences, and integration, helping them approach expanded states with intention, curiosity, and emotional safety. She works with individuals who are exploring patterns related to trauma, identity, relationships, self-worth, life transitions, and personal growth.
Her work with couples focuses on helping partners move beyond repetitive conflict and reconnect with what exists underneath it: attachment, vulnerability, desire, grief, trust, and the need to feel truly seen. Celeste helps couples develop greater emotional intimacy while creating space for each partner to remain fully themselves within the relationship.
Sound is also an important part of her therapeutic practice. Through sound healing, music, vibration, and intentional listening, Celeste offers clients another pathway into regulation, embodiment, emotional release, and reflection. These practices can be incorporated into individual sessions, couples work, retreats, and psychedelic preparation or integration.
As a Spanish-speaking therapist, Celeste is able to provide care in both Spanish and English, allowing clients to explore emotionally meaningful experiences in the language that feels most natural and authentic to them.
Her style is warm, intuitive, experiential, and relationship-centered. Whether someone is entering psychedelic work, navigating a relationship crossroads, reconnecting with their body, or simply searching for a deeper way of understanding themselves, Celeste creates space for healing that includes the mind without asking the mind to do all the work.

Katie Yardy
Katie Yardy, MA, RMHCI Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Katie Yardy is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern who brings a warm, integrative, and deeply person-centered approach to therapy. She works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, identity, and the often complicated process of figuring out what comes next.
Katie believes meaningful change involves more than simply managing symptoms. Her work helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, nervous system, relationships, and lived experiences so they can develop a greater sense of clarity, regulation, and trust in themselves.
Her therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, attachment-based therapy, emotionally focused therapy, somatic awareness, breathwork, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and relationship-focused approaches including the Gottman Method. Katie is particularly interested in the mind-body connection and in helping clients recognize patterns that may once have been protective but are no longer serving them.
At Bionic Bloom, Katie’s approach fits naturally within our Empowerment-Based Integrated Treatment model. Rather than approaching clients as problems to be corrected, she creates space for curiosity, validation, and exploration. Therapy becomes an opportunity to understand what the nervous system is communicating, identify underlying needs, and build new ways of responding with greater intention and self-compassion.
Katie works with individuals and couples and is LGBTQ+ affirming. She strives to create an environment in which clients can bring their full selves into the therapeutic relationship without pressure to perform, mask, or have everything figured out.
Whether someone is experiencing anxiety, recovering from trauma, navigating a major transition, struggling within a relationship, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves, Katie helps clients slow the process down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin moving toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.

Silvia Bley RN
As the Lead RN for Case Management at Bionic Bloom and the Neurodivergent Empowerment Institute, she is known for combining clinical knowledge with genuine compassion, helping clients feel supported long after they leave the therapy room. With a strong background in patient care and care coordination, she plays a vital role in ensuring clients feel guided, informed, and connected throughout their healing journey.
Her work focuses on bridging the gap between recommendations and real-life implementation. Whether she is helping clients navigate medications, coordinate appointments, follow up on lab work, connect with supportive services, or access community resources, she brings calm, consistency, and heart into every interaction. Clients often describe her as approachable, responsive, and deeply invested in their wellbeing.
She has a natural ability to make people feel safe and cared for during overwhelming seasons of life.

At Bionic Bloom, she works closely with providers, therapists, integrative health professionals, and support staff to help create a seamless continuum of care rooted in compassion and accountability. Her passion lies in helping people feel seen as humans first, not simply diagnoses or charts.

Her presence brings warmth, professionalism, and reassurance to clients navigating vulnerable and transformative chapters of their lives.
In many ways, she serves as both an anchor and an advocate for the people she works with, helping clients feel less alone while ensuring they have the tools, support, and guidance needed to move toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Stephanie Ellis
Stephanie Ellis, SpiceCoach & Psychedelic Facilitator
Stephanie Ellis brings a little extra spice to the healing process. As Bionic Bloom’s SpiceCoach, Stephanie provides neurodivergent-affirming coaching designed to help clients better understand their brains, recognize their needs, build sustainable strategies, and create lives that work with their neurotype rather than constantly fighting against it.
Stephanie’s particular special interest is psychedelic healing. As a psychedelic facilitator, she supports individuals through the preparation, experience, and integration process with curiosity, authenticity, humor, and respect for the deeply personal nature of altered-state work. She is especially interested in the intersection of neurodivergence, music, identity, nervous-system regulation, and psychedelic experiences.
Music is another major thread in Stephanie’s work. She is currently working toward board certification in music therapy, expanding her ability to understand and intentionally use music as a tool for emotional expression, regulation, connection, and exploration.
Stephanie isn’t interested in helping people become less spicy. Her work is about helping people understand their particular flavor of neurodivergence, discover what supports them, and build greater trust in themselves. Whether she is coaching, facilitating psychedelic work, or exploring the therapeutic power of music, Stephanie creates space for people to show up as their full, complicated, wonderfully neurospicy selves.
