Getting to know Alma Castaneda

I am originally from San Antonio, TX, born to working-class parents and educated in the public school system. I speak both English and Spanish. Over time, I attained three degrees, including a bachelor's degree, a master's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University, Kingsville, and a PhD in Psychology from Northcentral University. I have been a licensed therapist for several years and have worked in a variety of settings, which has made me well-networked, resourceful, and experienced. In addition to counseling and therapy, I also have university teaching experience. I get along well with others and generally maintain a positive outlook. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, and cooking. Additionally, I love animals, spending time with family, and being outdoors.

What should a new client know about working with you?

What can you expect from therapy with me? You can expect that I will listen to, understand, and support you through your challenges. In addition, you can expect me to be caring and flexible. You can expect me to be encouraging and warm. Above all else, you can expect that I will help! I am here for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
