Getting to know Austyn Castelli
The provider is a Resident in Counseling.
I am a Resident in Counseling with experience working with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional distress. My background includes work in community mental health, private practice, and forensic settings, giving me experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed care, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.
Whether you are navigating a difficult life circumstance, struggling with longstanding patterns, or simply seeking personal growth, I strive to provide a supportive space where meaningful change can occur. Together, we will work toward helping you build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with your values.
I offer free 15-minute consultation appointments to all prospective clients. Please look for the "15-Minute Consultation" option on the booking page.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, you can expect a collaborative, authentic, and supportive therapeutic relationship. I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be honest about their experiences without fear of judgment. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to move toward your goals.
I strive to balance empathy with gentle challenge. Some sessions may focus on processing emotions and difficult experiences, while others may involve building coping skills, exploring new perspectives, or creating concrete action steps. I recognize that every client is unique, so I tailor my approach to fit your individual needs, strengths, and preferences.
Most importantly, I view therapy as a team effort. You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based strategies as we work together toward lasting growth and change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach to therapy is direct, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I work best with adults who are ready to move beyond coping and start understanding the patterns and experiences keeping them stuck. From the start, we'll focus on building an honest therapeutic relationship, getting a clear picture of what's brought you to therapy, and identifying what you actually want to be different. I'm not a therapist who sits quietly and nods — I engage, I challenge when it's useful, and I'm comfortable sitting with heavy material and complex histories. If you're curious about whether we'd be a good fit, I offer free 15-minute consultations — no commitment, just a conversation. You can book one directly through ZocDoc.
