Getting to know Barbara Castro

My approach is compassionate, empathic, but I will also challenge you to grow so that you are not stagnant. We will explore areas of your life together so that you can see progress and growth. My approach I like to use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) in my sessions because it is a method that helps clients to understand their thoughts and behaviors. I also like to use metaphors during the session because that is another way for me to help clients to understand their emotions and feelings. We can also use poetry and narrative therapy if clients would be interested in doing so. Together, we will devise strategies that you can use effectively to reach your goals. My focus My specialty is in working with women who are pregnant, struggling with fertility issues, or Moms who are experiencing post-partum depression or anxiety. I also enjoy working with older folks, and in my private practice, I work with seniors who are struggling with dementia and cognitive functioning who live full-time in a skilled nursing facility in upstate New York. I also work with many clients who are struggling with a variety of life changes, like a divorce, the death of a parent, the loss of a job, or parents navigating challenges with their children. My communication style I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. We will get you back on track so that you will enjoy this journey of life and living. I will be there every step of the way to help you improve your coping skills and provide support and hope! Don't delay, please contact me so that you can begin to live the life that you deserve.
