Getting to know Alyssa Castro

The fact that you’re here, reading this, tells me you’re already beginning the brave work of coming back to yourself. That’s something to be proud of—truly, congratulations on taking this first step. I specialize in supporting women and non-binary individuals navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, and the many life transitions that come with these experiences. I also have a deep appreciation for the unique challenges and strengths that come with co-occurring traits of Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. My approach I draw from evidence-based approaches, including ERP, ACT, EMDR, and Prolonged Exposure—each carefully chosen to support lasting, meaningful change. At the heart of my work is a humanistic approach: I bring authenticity, compassion, and even a bit of humor to the process. I see therapy as a collaborative journey—one where I listen deeply, reflect what I see, and offer tools that truly work over time. My goal is to help you reconnect with your emotions and begin making choices guided by your values, not your fears. My focus I love working with women and non-binary individuals in all phases of life—especially those who feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, struggle with self-doubt, low motivation, or just don’t feel like themselves. I have a deep passion for supporting neurodiverse clients, including those with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, and I bring both personal and professional experience to this work. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, my goal isn’t to help you "fit in," but to help you feel a true sense of belonging—just as you are. My communication style My communication style is direct, compassionate, and grounded in genuine curiosity. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, validated, and understood—without judgment. I’m not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while always honoring your pace and perspective. I listen deeply and respond with care, making sure our conversations feel meaningful and supportive.
