Getting to know Dr. Kalya Castillo

Specialized in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression, I provide evidence-based therapy for adolescents and adults navigating life’s most significant stressors. As a biracial Black Japanese American, I also bring a blend of clinical insight and research expertise to the exploration of multiracial identity in therapy. My practice focuses on the intersection of mental health and identity, with particular focus on: Systemic Issues: Family dynamics, relationship conflict, and multicultural identity (race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality). Life Transitions: Navigating emerging adulthood and the transition to motherhood. Performance Stress: Managing academic and career-related pressure. I am committed to helping my clients foster a sense of balance and self-discovery through a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, and focused on your growth. I am interested in learning how symptoms relate to your thoughts, self-perception, and relationships. I use an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapies. These tools help me to assist you with exploring how early experiences, relationships and family dynamics have impacted your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will spend time on identifying such factors, exploring their origins, strengthening your coping mechanisms, and learning strategies to align with your authentic self.
